Diabetes insipidus is an uncommon disorder that causes an imbalance of water in the body. This imbalance leads to intense thirst even after drinking fluids (polydipsia), and excretion of large amounts of urine (polyuria).
Diabetes insipidus occurs when your body can't regulate how it handles fluids. Normally, your kidneys remove excess body fluids from your bloodstream. This fluid waste is temporarily stored in your bladder as urine, before you urinate.
Which one of the following four secretions is correctly matched with its source, target and nature of action?
| Secretion | Source | Target | Action |
| Gastrin | Stomach lining | Oxyntic cells | Production of HCl |
| Inhibin | Sertoli cells | Hypothalamus | Inhibition of secretion of gonadotropin releasing hormone |
| Enterokinase | Duodenum | Gall bladder | Release of bile juice |
| Atrial Natiuretic Factor (ANF) | Sinu atrial node (SAN) M- cells of Atria | Juxta- glomerular apparatus (JGA) | Inhibition of release of renin |
Assertion : Aldosterone is a steroid hormone and is important in the control of sodium and potassium ion concentration in mammals.
