The correct Answer is:
To determine which receptor stimulates the secretion of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) from the hypothalamus, we can analyze the options provided in the question. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH)**: - ADH, also known as vasopressin, is a hormone that helps regulate water balance in the body. It is synthesized in the hypothalamus and secreted by the posterior pituitary gland. 2. **Function of ADH**: - The primary role of ADH is to conserve body water by reducing urine output. It does this by making the kidneys reabsorb more water, leading to concentrated urine. 3. **Stimuli for ADH Secretion**: - The secretion of ADH is triggered by various stimuli, particularly when there is a deficiency of body fluids or an increase in blood osmolarity. 4. **Identifying the Receptors**: - The question lists four types of receptors: - **Angiotensin receptor**: Involved in regulating blood pressure and aldosterone secretion. - **Glucose receptor**: Primarily involved in insulin secretion. - **Osmoreceptor**: Detects changes in osmolarity and is crucial for regulating water balance. - **Renin receptor**: Also involved in the regulation of aldosterone secretion. 5. **Correct Answer**: - The correct receptor that stimulates the hypothalamus to increase ADH secretion is the **osmoreceptor**. These receptors detect changes in the osmolarity of the blood and signal the hypothalamus to release ADH when dehydration occurs. ### Conclusion: - Therefore, the answer to the question is **osmoreceptor**.
