Answer:

Gonadotropin releasing hormone

Explanation:

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone is one of the releasing hormones secreted by the hypothalamus to regulate the secretion of hormones from the anterior pituitary gland.  

At the beginning of puberty, the hypothalamus begins to increase its production of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). The gonadotropin-releasing hormone makes the anterior pituitary to release gonadotropins in both males and females. Two gonadotropic hormones are FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) and LH (luteinizing hormone). FSH promotes spermatogenesis in the seminiferous tubules, and LH promotes androgen production in the interstitial cells.

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

The correct answer will be-

1. decrease in blood volume

2. secretion of renin from juxtaglomerular apparatus

3. production of angiotensin II

4.  secretion of aldosterone

5. sodium reabsorbed from distal tubules and collecting ducts

Explanation:

The RAAS pathway or Renin-angiotensin II-aldosterone pathway gets activated in the human body to maintain the osmolarity and blood volume.

When the receptors in the blood sense the low volume of water in the body sends signals to the brain which activates the secretion of the renin from the juxtaglomerular cells. Renin helps converts the inactive angiotensin to angiotensin I and II which help reabsorption of sodium ions. This activates the production of aldosterone which increases the reabsorption of the sodium ions into distal and collecting ducts.
