Which of the following does not favour the formation of large quantities of dilute urine?

Correct answer: A. Renin

  • A. Renin
  • B. Atrial­ natriuretic factor
  • C. Alcohol
  • D. Caffeine

Explanation

Blood pressure regulation is the main function of renin. It works together with angiotensin and aldosterone to manage the levels of sodium and potassium in your body. Here's how the process works: Renin converts angiotensinogen (a precursor of angiotensin that's produced by your liver) to angiotensin I.

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.
