Which of the following is a direct result of antidiuretic hormone?
Increased urine acidity
Increased urine volume
Increased urine salinity
Decreased urine volume
The Correct Answer is D
A. Increased urine acidity: Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) primarily affects water reabsorption in the kidneys, not urine acidity. It does not have a direct effect on the acidity of the urine.
B. Increased urine volume: ADH works to conserve water by increasing water reabsorption in the kidneys, which decreases urine volume.
C. Increased urine salinity: While ADH does increase water reabsorption, which could concentrate the urine, its direct action is on water retention, not specifically on increasing urine salinity.
D. Decreased urine volume: ADH promotes water reabsorption in the kidneys, leading to decreased urine output. This is the direct and correct result of ADH action.

Correct Answer is A
Explanation
A. Small intestine is the primary site of nutrient absorption. The majority of digestion and absorption of nutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats occurs in the small intestine, particularly in the duodenum and jejunum.
B. Pancreas secretes digestive enzymes into the small intestine but does not absorb nutrients itself.
C. Stomach plays a role in the digestion of proteins and the mechanical breakdown of food, but it absorbs very few nutrients, primarily alcohol and some drugs.
D. Large intestine absorbs water and electrolytes, but it is not the major site of nutrient absorption. Most nutrients are absorbed before food reaches the large intestine.
Correct Answer is A
Explanation
A. Uterine tube: Fertilization typically occurs in the uterine tube (also known as the fallopian tube). The sperm travels from the cervix through the uterus and into the uterine tube, where it meets and fertilizes the egg.
B. Uterus: The uterus is where the fertilized egg implants and develops into a fetus, but it is not where fertilization occurs.
C. Ovary: The ovary is where eggs are produced and released during ovulation, but fertilization does not occur here.
D. Urinary bladder: The urinary bladder is part of the urinary system, not the reproductive system, and has no role in fertilization.
