Alcohol and caffeine inhibit the effects of antidiuretic hormone. Explain why drinking beer or coffee increases the frequency of urination.
In what way does caffeine affect the urinary system? Select one: a. Caffeine increases the actions of ADH causing the distal convoluted tubule to reabsorb less water which leads to an increased amount of urine formation. b. Caffeine increases the actions of ADH causing the proximal convoluted tubule to reabsorb less water which leads to an increased amount of urine formation. c. Caffeine blocks the actions of ADH causing the glomerular capsule to reabsorb less water which leads to an increased amount of urine formation. d. Caffeine blocks the actions of ADH causing the proximal convoluted tubule to reabsorb less water which leads to an increased amount of urine formation. e. Caffeine blocks the actions of ADH causing the proximal convoluted tubule to reabsorb more water which leads to a decreased amount of urine formation.
