D. PTH

Asked by nahhchief

Answer (2)

The hormone ADH (Antidiuretic Hormone) triggers the kidneys to produce more concentrated urine and reduce water loss. It increases reabsorption of water in the kidneys, especially when the body is dehydrated. Other hormones like calcitonin, oxytocin, and PTH have distinct functions unrelated to water regulation. ;
