The correct Answer is:
To solve the given assertion and reason question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason carefully. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "An increase in body fluid volume activates osmoreceptors, which stimulate the hypothalamus to release ADH." - Osmoreceptors are sensitive to changes in osmolarity (concentration of solutes) in the blood, not directly to the volume of body fluids. An increase in body fluid volume typically leads to a decrease in osmolarity, which would not activate osmoreceptors to release ADH. 2. **Evaluating the Assertion**: - Since an increase in body fluid volume would actually decrease osmolarity, the assertion is incorrect. The hypothalamus releases ADH in response to increased osmolarity (not increased fluid volume). 3. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that "ADH facilitates water reabsorption from later parts of the tubule." - This statement is true. ADH (Antidiuretic Hormone) acts on the kidneys, specifically on the collecting ducts, to promote water reabsorption, thereby concentrating the urine and reducing water loss. 4. **Evaluating the Reason**: - Since the reason is true and accurately describes the function of ADH, we can confirm that this part of the statement is correct. 5. **Conclusion**: - The assertion is false, while the reason is true. Therefore, the correct answer is that the assertion is not a correct explanation of the reason. ### Final Answer: - Assertion: False - Reason: True

Which of the following statements is INCORRECT? I. Human kidneys can produce urine nearly six times more concentrated than the initial filtrate formed. II. An increase in body fluid volume can switch on the osmoreceptors and stimulate ADH. III. Substance like glucose, amino acids, Na^+ , etc., in the filtrate, are reabsorbed actively by the renal tubule whereas the nitrogenous wastes are absorbed by passive transport IV. Each kidney has nearly one million complex tubular structures called nephrons which are the functional units.

Assertion :- Angiotensin II, activates the adrenall cortex to release aldosterone. Reason :- Aldosterone causes reabsorption of Na^(o+) and water from the distal parts of the tubule.

Assertion :- Angiotensin II is a powerful vasconstrictor Reason :- Aldosterone causes reabsorption of Na^(+) and water from distal parts of the tubule.

Assertion : The failure of secretion of hormone vasopressin causes diabetes mellitus in the patient. Reason : Vasopression reduces the volume of urine by increasing the reabsorbtion of water from the urine.

Assertion :- Antidiuretic hormone, increases the water permeability of distal convoluted tubule. Reason :- In the absence of ADH, water re-absorption is considerably increases.

Assertion: Stimulation of renin secretion will increase the volume of the extracellular fluid (ECF). Reason: The increased ECF occurs due to decreased active reabsorption of Na^(+)

Assertion . Mast cells in human body release excessive amount of inflammatory chemicals which cause allergic reactions. Reason . Allergens in the environment on reaching human body stimulates mast cells in certain individuals

Assertion : Oxytocin is also known as anti-diuretic hormone (ADH). Reason : Oxytocin can cause an increase in the renal reabsorbtion of water.

Assertion : Oxytocin is also known as anti-diuretic hormone (ADH). Reason : Oxytocin can cause an increase in the renal reabsorbtion of water.
