Which of the following options correctly identifies the substances represented by curves X, Y, and Z, and describes how an increase in blood water potential (hydration) would affect curve Z in the collecting duct?

X: Glucose; Y: Albumin; Z: Urea. An increase in blood water potential decreases ADH secretion, reducing water reabsorption in the collecting duct and lowering the peak of curve Z.
