51. About hormonal circuits that link kidney function, which of the following statements is INCORRECT? (A) An increase in blood osmolarity triggers the release of antidiuretic hormone (ADH), which helps to conserve water. (B) ADH increases water reabsorption in the descending limb of the Loops of Henle. (C) The Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System (RAAS) is part of a complex feedback circuit that functions in the maintenance of blood pressure and volume. (D) A drop in blood pressure near the glomerulus causes the juxtaglomerular apparatus (JGA) to release the enzyme renin. (E) Renin triggers the formation of the peptide angiotensin II, which increases blood volume and pressure by stimulating the release of aldosterone.
