Question

Which fluid-related hormone helps the body to lose fluids and reduce blood pressure?

Answer 1

Answer:

Vasopressin

Explanation:

Vasopressin is an anti-diuretic hormone. Its main function is to control the osmolality and volume of body fluids, helping the body to lose fluids. The secretory neurons are activated as a result of increased osmotic pressure or reduced blood pressure, which is also reduced by this hormone. The release of this hormone has a potent vasoconstrictor effect, causing water retention to increase, acting as an antidiuretic hormone. The increased permeability of the collecting tubules and the thick ascending branches of the Henle loop, resulting from the exposure of aquaporins to the apical membrane, enables the diffusion of water found in the tubule cells to the medullary region of the kidney.
