- Secretion of the hormone ADH may decrease or stop if the pituitarys 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?arrow_forwardThe following are hormones effects on the kidneys EXCEPT: -A mineralocorticoid increase the excretion of potassium ions. -ADH increases reabsorption of water -Aldosterone decreases the reabsorption of sodium ions -PTH increases reabsorption of calcium ionsarrow_forwardThe kidneys are the target organ for many hormimes, list the hormones that specifically target the kidneysarrow_forward
- A person is experiencing dehydration due to diminished ability of kidneys to conserve water leading to excessive water loss. Deficiency of which hormone and damage to its source gland could possibly cause this? 1.Vasopressin : Adenohypophysis 2.ACTH : Neurohypophysis 3.ACTH: Adrenal cortex 4.ADH : Hypothalamusarrow_forwardWhich of these do you suspect will not lead to an increase in ADH secretion from the posterior pituitary gland?

- Which of the following are correct? none of the statements are correct Lack of iodine in one's diet might cause a disruption in Thyroid hormone levels. As you are under stress while taking this exam, it is possible that the adrenal glands are promoting the synthesis of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources. The steroid hormone known as cortisol would help the body do this. If a person loses too much water in their urine in a short period of time they will likely die from dehydration. The posterior pituitary hormone, ADH, acts to conserve water in the body. Low levels of TSH might be the cause of hypothyroidism in a patient. If I remove a patient's adrenal gland, it is likely that the levels of ACTH would increase.arrow_forward(DIAGRAM ABOVE) pituitary releases less antidiuretic hormone (ADH) kidney reabsorbs less water too much water in the blood normal water content in the blood U large, diluted volume of urine produced AS hypothalamus detects low concentration (2) A LEGA DEPARTMEN too much water in the blood hypothalamus detects low concentration pituitary releases less antidiuretic hormone (ADH) kidney reabsorbs less water large, diluted volume of urine produced normal water contect in the blood RICHA OF EDUCA NCAarrow_forwardNonearrow_forward
