Question
Most forms of life that live on land require mechanisms to conserve water. As land mammals, humans have evolved various ways to maintain proper water levels in the blood. The human body uses a hormone called ADH to help increase the water content of its blood. Low water levels in the blood, which can be caused by dehydration, can cause low blood pressure and high salt levels in the blood. A structure in the brain called the hypothalamus recognizes low blood pressure and high salt levels. This causes the hypothalamus to trigger another brain structure called the pituitary gland to release the hormone Antidiuretic Hormone, or ADH. ADH then travels via the blood throughout the body. In the kidney, cells react to ADH, causing the kidney to retain more water. This results in very concentrated urine.
Based on this passage, identify the systems that are directly involved in increasing water in the blood in response to dehydration.

The correct response is:
**nervous, endocrine, circulatory, and excretory**
This choice accurately reflects the systems involved in the process described in the passage, where the nervous system (hypothalamus) detects changes, the endocrine system (ADH release from the pituitary gland) responds by regulating hormone levels, the circulatory system distributes ADH throughout the body, and the excretory system (kidneys) reabsorbs water to conserve it and maintain proper blood levels.
