Identify the incorrect statement:
| 1. | An excessive loss of fluid from the body can activate the osmoreceptors which stimulate the hypothalamus to release antidiuretic hormone (ADH) or vasopressin from the neurohypophysis. |
| 2. | An increase in body fluid volume can switch off the osmoreceptors and suppress the ADH release. |
| 3. | ADH can also affect the kidney function by its dilatory effects on blood vessels. |
| 4. | An increase in blood pressure can increase the glomerular blood flow and thereby the GFR. |

Collecting Duct:
1. Only I, II and III are correct
2. Only I, III and IV are correct
3. Only II, III and IV are correct
4. I, II, III and IV are correct
| I: | extends from the cortex of the kidney to the inner parts of the medulla. |
| II: | can reabsorb water to produce a concentrated urine. |
| III: | allows passage of small amounts of urea into the medullary interstitium to keep up the osmolarity. |
| IV: | plays a role in the maintenance of pH and ionic balance of blood by the selective secretion of H+ and K+ ions. |
