How does angiotensin-II help to restore fluid balance when a person is dehydrated?

Video transcript

Hey, everyone. Let's take a look at this question together to promote water conservation. Angiotensin two stimulates the release of a hormone that acts on the kidneys to increase water reabsorption. Which hormone is this is it? Answer choice. A aldosterone answer choice B, norepinephrine, answer choice C, epinephrine or answer choice D antidiuretic hormone or A DH. Let's work this problem out together to try to figure out which of the following answer choices is the hormone that is released when angiotensin two is stimulated and it's the hormone that acts on the kidneys to increase water reabsorption. So, in order to solve this question, we have to recall what we have learned about angiotensin two and what hormone it stimulates the release of, of that acts on the kidneys to increase water reabsorption. And we can recall that angiotensin two stimulates the release of A DH or antidiuretic hormone also called vasopressin from the pituitary gland. And the hormone A DH or antidiuretic hormone acts on the kidneys to increase water reabsorption from the urine back into the bloodstream. And this helps conserve water and reduce urine output, thereby promoting water conservation and maintaining fluid balance. So, the hormone that angiotensin two stimulates. The release of is answer choice d anti diuretic hormone or a DH and all other answer choices are incorrect. I hope you found this video to be helpful. Thank you and goodbye.
