  1. When David gets up in the morning and voids after an overnight sleep, he notices his urine is darker in color and smaller in volume than at most other times of the day.  What is the explanation for the dark color and smaller volume?



 

  1. David has discovered that after having a couple of beers with friends on a
               Saturday night, he often voids a significant volume of urine, more than the
               volume of the beers he has consumed. He also finds that the next morning
               he is quite thirsty.  Provide a physiological explanation for both of these
               observations. 

 

  • increased urine volume –

 

  • increased thirst -

 

  1. David has noticed that while strenuously working out at the gym, and for a while
               afterwards, he rarely has to void.  Provide two likely reasons to explain to David
