Diuresis is prevented by:

Diuresis is prevented by:
  1. Renin from JG cell via switching off the osmoreceptors
  2. ANF from atria of the heart
  3. Aldosterone from adrenal medulla
  4. Vasopressin from Neurohypophysis

Solution

The correct answer is option (4) because, - Diuresis is prevented by vasopressin or anti-diuretic hormone from neurohypophysis or posterior pituitary. When there is excessive loss of fluid from the body the secretion of, ADH facilitates water reabsorption from latter part of renal tubules. - Option (1) is incorrect because renin from JG cells convert angiotensinogen in blood to angiotensin I and further to angiotensin II; which is a powerful vasoconstrictor and increases the glomerular blood pressure and thereby GFR. - Option (2) is incorrect because ANF causes vasodilation and thereby decrease GFR. - Option (3) is incorrect because aldosterone is released from adrenal cortex and causes reabsorption of $\mathrm{Na}^{+}$and water from distal parts of renal tubules.
