How does increased plasma levels of antidiuretic hormone effect blood pressure?

In a nutshell, Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) causes the kidneys to retain water instead of excreting it. In your case, because the amount of ADH is increased, the amount of water retained in the body is also increased. The increased water enters blood vessels and increases blood pressure. (Like water in a pipe~more fluid=more pressure) Hope this helped!

How would Hypothalamic tumor resulting in excess ADH production has what effect on the blood pressure?
The increased ADH (vasopressin) would cause water retention and increased volume of body fluids. This would make the heart work harder to pump the increased volume through the body resulting in higher blood pressure.
What is the effect of antidiuretic hormone on potassium concentration and excretion?
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) decreases the amount of sodium in your body and when ever sodium levels go down potassium levels go up (same is true for visa versa) so the amount of Potassium should increase when there is an increase in ADH.
What hormone dilates bronchioles increases heart rate?
There is not an actual hormone which increases blood pressure. However, the hormone adrenaline is secreted by the pituitary gland and has the effect of speeding up the contraction of the heart muscle. In turn this leads to increased blood pressure due to Fick's Law. The stroke volume of the heart has increased so more blood is being forced through the network of blood vessels
What are the effects of ADH on water balance in the blood?
ADH is also known as antidiuretic hormone and it tells the kidneys to reabsorb more water from the filtrate so it produces less urine. The effect on the body is to retain water which will them raise the blood pressure.
What is the effect of alcohol to antidiuretic hormone secretion?
Ethyl Alcohol prevents the secretion of Anti-diuretic hormone from the the posterior pituitary, resulting in water and sodium loss and subsequent diuresis.
What are three hormones that regulate the urine volume State where each is made and the specific effect on urine volume?
The 3 hormones that are produced to regulate urine are Aldosterone, AHD (antidiuretic hormone), and ANH (atrial natriuretic hormone). The Aldosterone is released when the blood pressure of the kidney is low. Aldosterones main purpose is to retain sodium and water or the reabsoption of salt. It is secreted by the adrenal cortex (adrenal glands). Antidiuretic hormone is a peptide hormone and is made by the hypothalamus gland it regulates the body's retention of water. A decrease is blood pressure triggers the release of the hormone from the posterior pituitary gland. Atrial Nariuretic hormone is secreted by the heart cells and regulates fluids in the body to help maintain homeostasis. Released ANH causes the kidneys to secret more sodium and lose more water.
What is the effect of temperature and pressure on a gas?
Increased molecular activity / heat / instability
Thyrotrophic hormone would be expected to have a specific effect in providing nourishment and subsequent growth and increased activity to?
thyroid cells
Can pressure affect the solubility of a substances in a solution?
Pressure can affect the solubility but the effect is not important.
What effect does the increased pressure have on the amount of gas dissolved in the diver's body fluids?
Increased pressure increases solubility of gases, so there will be more gas dissolved in the diver's bodily fluids.
What is the effect of the temperature on the vapour pressure?
When temperature is increased the amount of molecules evaporated is increasef and as a consequence condensation is also increased so vapour pressure increases.
Anticipated effect on blood pressure and the physiological basis of the response to high-salt diet?
Increased blood pressure. This is due to increased sodium in the blood, increasing the total extracellular fluid volume
