Explain how urine osmolarity is hormonally regulated.
are both statements correct?
In the absence of ADH, the kidneys produce dilute urine; renal tubules absorb more solutes than water.
In the presence of ADH, the kidneys produce concentrated urine; large amounts of water are reabsorbed from the tubular fluid into interstitial fluid, increasing solute concentration of the urine
If blood osmolarity increases, receptors in the_______ detect this and signal the gland to increase release of________ . This hormone acts on the walls of the_____ and the______, causing them to insert more water porescalled_______ into their membranes and, thus, cause the urine to become more______ .

- Why is excretion important in order to achieve osmotic balance?arrow_forwardFatty tissue holds the kidneys in place. Extremely rapid weight loss may cause this tissue to shrink so that the kidneys slip from their normal position. On rare occasions, the slippage can put a kink in one or both ureters and block urine flow. Suggest what might then happen to the kidneys.arrow_forwardExplain how the nervous system and the excretory system have to work together to maintain water balance, including both dehydration and excess hydration. What would happen if the nervous system became damaged and could no longer send signals to stimulate the release of ADH ?arrow_forward
- Explain the kidney's role in water conservation. How much water is reabsorbed (by following other reabsorbed substances) by osmosis? How much water does the nephron loop and collecting duct have to be "tricked" into reabsorbing? How exactly does that work? How do hormones control this process? What effect does alcohol have?arrow_forwardHarry is doing yard work one hot summer day and refuses to drink anything until he is finished. He then drinks glass after glass of plain water. Assuming that he drinks enough water to replace all the water he lost as sweat, how does this much water affect urine concentration and voulume? Explain the mechanism involved.arrow_forwardSelect the best answer or answers from the choices given: Which of the following is/are true about ADH? (a) It promotes obligatory water reabsorption, (b) it is secreted in response to an increase in extracellular fluid osmolality, (c) it causes insertion of aquaporins in the PCT, (d) it promotes Na+ reabsorption.arrow_forward
- How does adh regulate kidney function? Please include blood osmolarity, the hypothalamus, adh, permeability of kidney, homeostasis and h20 reabsorption increasing in the explanationarrow_forwardwhere in the kidney does ADH act to restore osmolarity to homeostatic values (280-300mOsm)? proximal convoluted tubule, collecting ducts, distal convoluted tubule.arrow_forwardEthyl alcohol inhibits ADH secretion. Given this information, describe themechanism by which alcoholic beverages affect urine production.arrow_forward
- If blood pH drops toward the acidic end of the range, what would happen as a result of tubular secretion? O Increased H+ in urine. Decreased H+ in urine O Increased K+ in urine O Decreased K+ in urine.arrow_forwardCertain types of lung tumors secrete one or more hormones. What would happen to plasma and urine osmolality and urine volume in a patient with a lung tumor that secretes vasopressin? Why?arrow_forward. If a person takes a loop diuretic, for example furosemide, for a prolonged period of time, what effectwill it have on the osmotic gradient in the renal medulla? Will this effect tend to increase or decreaseurine output?arrow_forward
