प्रश्न
Comment upon the hormonal regulation of selective reabsorption.
उत्तर
Osmoreceptors in the body are activated by changes in blood volume, body fluid volume and ionic concentration. An excessive loss of fluid from the body can activate these receptors which stimulate the hypothalamus to release antidiuretic hormone (ADH) or vasopressin from the neurohypophysis. ADH facilitates water reabsorption from the latter parts of the tubule, thereby preventing diuresis.
