When blood osmolarity increases:
A) the kidneys excrete more water from the body through diuresis in an attempt to normalize the blood's osmolarity.
B) osmoreceptors located in the hypothalamus stimulate the release of vasopressin, which causes the body to retain water.
C) the pituitary gland releases antidiuretic hormone (ADH), which stimulates the kidneys to resorb water and decrease the blood's osmolarity.
D) volume-sensitive receptors in the atria stretch, causing the release of natriuretic proteins that normalize the blood's osmolarity.
Answer: C) the pituitary gland releases antidiuretic hormone (ADH), which stimulates the kidneys to resorb water and decrease the blood's osmolarity.
