Answer Choices:
Diuretics
🏵️ Diuretics promote the excretion of water and electrolytes through urine, which reduces blood volume and lowers blood pressure.
🏵️ Unlike the countercurrent multiplier in the loop of Henle and the countercurrent exchange system in the vasa recta, which both help preserve water in the body, diuretics actually oppose water conservation.
🏵️ The collecting duct also plays a crucial role in water reabsorption under the influence of antidiuretic hormone (ADH), concentrating urine to conserve water.
🏵️ Because diuretics increase urine output instead of decreasing it, they interfere with water conservation.
🏵️ Thus, the only option that does not contribute to conserving water is the use of diuretics.
