Which of the following is a direct result of antidiuretic hormone?

A. Triglycerides are a type of fat found in the blood, but they are not classified as "bad cholesterol."

B. High-density lipoproteins (HDL) is known as "good cholesterol" because it helps remove cholesterol from the arteries.

C. Low-density lipoproteins (LDL) are referred to as "bad cholesterol" because high levels of LDL can lead to the build-up of plaque in arteries, increasing the risk of heart disease and stroke.

D. Chylomicrons are lipoproteins that transport dietary lipids from the intestines to other locations in the body. They are not classified as "bad cholesterol."

A. Diuretics increase urine output by inhibiting the reabsorption of water and sodium in the kidneys, which leads to increased water loss. This action is opposite to water conservation, making this the correct answer.

B. The counter current exchange system in the kidneys helps conserve water by maintaining a high osmolarity in the medulla, which facilitates the reabsorption of water in the collecting ducts. This system contributes to water conservation.

C. The collecting duct plays a crucial role in water reabsorption. Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) increases the permeability of the collecting duct to water, allowing more water to be reabsorbed back into the bloodstream, contributing to water conservation.

D. The counter current multiplier is a mechanism in the loop of Henle that creates a concentration gradient in the kidney medulla, which is essential for water reabsorption in the collecting ducts. It contributes to water conservation.
