Which hormone controls the formation of urine?
Correct answer: C. ADH
- A. ACTH
- B. Oxytocin
- C. ADH
- D. Somatotrophin
Explanation
Option C is correct.Antidiuretic hormone (ADH), also called vasopressin, controls the formation of urine. It is made by the hypothalamus and stored in the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland. It acts on the distal convoluted tubules and collecting ducts of nephrons and causes the reabsorption of water. Hence, it decreases the production of urine and increases blood volume.

About Homeostasis
Homeostasis maintains a stable internal environment through the kidney and urinary system, thermoregulation and excretion. The kidney topics include filtration, selective reabsorption, urine formation and water balance, while thermoregulation involves sweating, vasodilation, vasoconstriction and hormonal control; excretion is different from egestion, which removes undigested food.
