Question 35
H

A person produces a large volume of dilute urine even though the ADH concentration in their blood is high. Giving additional ADH does not reduce their urine volume.

Which explanation is most consistent with these results?

[1]
A

the pituitary releases too much ADH, so much extra water is reabsorbed

B

the collecting ducts respond strongly to ADH, so little extra water is reabsorbed

C

the pituitary releases too little ADH, so much extra water is reabsorbed

D

the collecting ducts respond poorly to ADH, so little extra water is reabsorbed
