Which of the following would help in prevention of diuresis?
Reabsorption of Na+ and water from renal tubules due to aldosterone
Atrial natriuretic factor causes vasoconstriction
Decrease in secretion of renin by JG cells
More water reabsorption due to undersecretion of ADH
To solve this problem, we need to determine which option helps in the prevention of diuresis. Diuresis refers to increased or excessive production of urine. Let's analyze each option:Option 1: Reabsorption of and water from renal tubules due to aldosterone. - Aldosterone is a hormone that increases the reabsorption of sodium and water in the distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct of the nephron. - This reabsorption reduces urine volume, thus preventing diuresis. - Therefore, this option helps in the prevention of diuresis.Option 2: Atrial natriuretic factor causes vasoconstriction. - Atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) actually causes vasodilation and increases the excretion of sodium and water, leading to increased urine production. - This would promote diuresis, not prevent it.Option 3: Decrease in secretion of renin by JG cells. - Renin is an enzyme that leads to the production of angiotensin II, which increases blood pressure and promotes aldosterone release. - A decrease in renin would reduce aldosterone levels, potentially increasing urine output and promoting diuresis.Option 4: More water reabsorption due to undersecretion of ADH. - Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) promotes water reabsorption in the kidneys. - Undersecretion of ADH would lead to less water reabsorption, increasing urine output and promoting diuresis.Therefore, the correct option that helps in the prevention of diuresis is Option 1: Reabsorption of and water from renal tubules due to aldosterone.
