Chapter 15, Problem 4CT
Secretion of the hormone ADH may decrease or stop if the pituitary’s posterior lobe is damaged, as by a blow to the head. This is one cause of diabetes insipidus. People with this form of diabetes excrete so much dilute urine that they may become seriously dehydrated. Where are the target cells of ADH?

The kidneys are important regulators of blood volume (and thus MAP) and the ionic composition and pH of plasma . The amount of water reabsorbed or lost is hormonally regulated. Both the amount of blood that is filtered (glomerular filtration rate) and the amount of water that is reabsorbed is determined by hormones binding with receptors. In order to understand why the level of any given hormone is elevated or low in the blood, it is necessary to think in terms of homeostasis loops for each hormone, and what the initial disturbance to homeostasis was. In other words “who started it”!
What STEROID hormone is elevated by increased activation of the RAS pathway?

- Figure 16.14 Goiter, a disease caused by iodine deficiency, results in the inability of the thyroid gland to form T3 and T4 . The body typically attempts to compensate by producing greater amounts of TSH. Which of the following symptoms would you expect goiter to cause? a. Hypothyroidism, resulting in weight gain, cold sensitivity, and reduced mental activity. b. Hyperthyroidism, resulting in weight loss, profuse sweating and increased heart rate. C. Hyperthyroidism, resulting in weight gain, cold sensitivity, and reduced mental activity. d. Hypothyroidism, resulting in weight loss, profuse sweating and increased heart rate.arrow_forwardThe adrenal cortex of a patient who has lost a large volume of blood will increase secretion of aldosterone.

- How would it be possible to have the normal amount of a hormone circulating in the blood yet have symptoms that indicate a shortage of that hormone? Give an example.arrow_forwardDiabetes insipidus has been identified in two males. One person did not have the condition until he had a stroke. The other had lived with the condition his whole life, and despite the existence of normal ADH receptors, it had never reacted to exogenous ADH. What might be the cause of the two men's diabetes insipidus? Provide your references.arrow_forwardExcess ACTH stimulation would result in which of the following effects? (select all that apply) - increased testosterone - increased epinephrine - increased cortisol - increased aldosteronearrow_forward

- Which statement about antidiuretic hormone is TRUE? Antidiuretic hormone increases urine production. Antidiuretic hormone reduces urine production. Antidiuretic hormone is made by the kidneys. Excessive secretion of antidiuretic hormone causes dehydration.arrow_forwardUnder which of the following conditions would you expect an increase in antidiuretic hormone secretion? a. An individual ingests excess water. b. The posterior pituitary is removed from an individual because of a tumor. c. An individual is rescued after three days in the desert without food or water. d. An individual with normal kidneys is producing a large volume of urine.arrow_forwardA patient is observed to have symptoms that are consistent with increased concentrations of epinephrine in the blood, including a rapid heart rate, anxiety, and elevated fatty acid concentrations. However, the circulating epinephrine concentrations are measured and found to be in the normal range. What might explain this?arrow_forward
