With respect to the counter current multiplier system when the human kidneys are producing a concentrated urine:

1. the descending limb of the loop of Henle produces a hypotonic filtrate
2. interaction between ascending and descending limb of loop of Henle is an example of negative feedback
3. salt becomes recirculated and trapped in the medullary tissue fluid, increasing "saltiness" as it accumulates toward the lower tip of the pyramids
4. water is retained in the medulla by the higher colloid osmotic pressure than that of the blood in the vasa recta capillaries

A result of secretion of ADH is that :
1. the walls of the collecting ducts become less permeable to urea and water
2. the water channels, or aquaporins, appear in the cell membranes of the collecting duct epithelial cells promoting the reabsorption of water from the filtrate
3. the ultrafiltrate flowing through the collecting duct becomes more hypotonic
4. a greater volume of dilute urine is excreted

Hyperkalemia can cause cardiac arrest. In response to hyperkalemia, the hormone secreted by human body and the site of its action are respectively:
1. aldosterone; distal tubule
2. aldosterone; proximal convoluted tubule
3. ADH; cortical collecting duct
4. ADH; proximal convoluted tubule

Identify the incorrect statement regarding antidiuretic hormone (ADH):

1. It is synthesized by the neurons of the hypothalamus and stored and released from the neurohypophysis.
2. It binds to receptors on the collecting duct cells and activates a cAMP second messenger system.
3. It is released during body dehydration conditions and acts on the collecting duct.
4. ADH is released when osmoreceptors in the hypothalamus sense a decrease in the blood osmolality.
