The correct Answer is:
To determine which statement is correct regarding kidney function regulation, we can analyze each option provided in the question step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding ADH (Antidiuretic Hormone)**: - ADH is a hormone that helps regulate water balance in the body by preventing excessive loss of water through urine (diuresis). - It is secreted by the posterior pituitary gland in response to the body's hydration status. 2. **Analyzing Option A**: - **Statement**: When someone drinks a lot of water, ADH release is suppressed. - **Explanation**: When a person consumes a large amount of water, the volume of body fluids increases. This increase leads to a dilution of solutes in the blood, which is detected by osmoreceptors. - **Conclusion**: The osmoreceptors signal the body that there is no need for ADH, leading to its suppression. Thus, this statement is **correct**. 3. **Analyzing Option B**: - **Statement**: Exposure to cold temperature stimulates ADH release. - **Explanation**: Cold temperatures do not directly stimulate ADH release; rather, ADH is released primarily in response to dehydration or high plasma osmolality. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **incorrect**. 4. **Analyzing Option C**: - **Statement**: Increase in glomerular blood flow stimulates the formation of angiotensin. - **Explanation**: Angiotensin is primarily formed when there is low blood flow or low blood pressure in the kidneys, not when blood flow increases. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **incorrect**. 5. **Analyzing Option D**: - **Statement**: During summer, when the body loses a lot of water by evaporation, the release of ADH is suppressed. - **Explanation**: In fact, during times of water loss (such as sweating in summer), the body increases ADH release to conserve water. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **incorrect**. ### Final Conclusion: The correct statement regarding kidney function regulation is **Option A**: When someone drinks a lot of water, ADH release is suppressed. ---
