What hormone is necessary for water to be reabsorbed in the kidney?
Wiki User

Anti-diuretic hormone (or ADH) is released by the pituitary gland to encourage the kidneys to reabsorb water.

∙ 14y agothe hormone is called Anti-Diuretic Hormone (ADH) it is release by the pitutary gland in the brain and is responsible for the maintenence of water levels.

What is the hormone that reduces the loss of sodium and water by the kidney?
Aldosterone
How does osmosis affect homeostasis?
homeostasis is essentially the maintenance of the body's internal environment, including things like levels of water for substances like blood (less water means more viscous blood). For this particular example, osmosis takes part in the kidney, affecting how much water is reabsorbed into the body hence affecting the thickness of blood. The kidney purposefully makes its medulla very concentrated so as to reabsorb water as urine passes by in the collecting duct. The extent of osmosis can be effected by hormones such as Anti-diuretic hormone, which makes the walls of the collecting duct more permeable so more water is reabsorbed.
If body secretes about 7 liters of water into the alimentary canal each day what percentage of this water gets reabsorbed?
90% is reabsorbed
What hormone increase the amount of water lost in the urine?
The hormone that increases the amount of water lost in the urine is the atrial natriuretic hormone.
What is the osmolarity of the filtrate at the end of the proximal tubule?
Isotonic- 300 mOsm Per Pearson Yes, the osmolarity of the filtrate would be about 300 mOsm because both solutes and water are reabsorbed in the proximal tubule. As particles are reabsorbed, water follows osmotically.
Which thing are the constituents of kidney filtrate is reabsorbed by osmosis?
Water
Why does taking a steroid hormone make you retain water?
A steroid hormone has a side effect of having mineralcorticoid activity. Specifically, it exerts similar effects to that of aldosterone. What aldosterone does is increase the amount of sodium that's reabsorbed by your kidney. With sodium, water comes along as well, hence the water retention from a steroid hormone.
Why re-absorption of water does not occur in collective duct?
Do you mean collection duct? There are several collection ducts. The main function of this part of the kidney is to help keep the ionic balance and water balance. Water is reabsorbed in the first part of this system and the ions in the more distal part. The hormone ADH regulates the amount of water that it reabsorbed. The kidney needs a high blood pressure to function and so it also regulates that.
Is water reabsorbed by your body that passes through the kidney?
I have no idea what so ever
What is the medical term for hormone that promotes the kidney to reabsorb water?
The medical term for the hormone that promotes the kidney to reabsorb water is antidiuretic hormone (ADH) or vasopressin. This hormone helps regulate water balance in the body by increasing water reabsorption in the kidneys.
When ADH is produced what happens?
If there is too little water in the blood, the hypothalamus will detect this and more ADH (Anti-Diuretic Hormone) will be produced. The increase in ADH will cause an increase in the permeability of the collecting duct in the kidney and so more water is reabsorbed into the blood. :)
What hormone increases water retention by the kidney tubules when water content decreases from the optimum?
Anti diuretic Hormone. This hormone increases water retention.
What hormones increases blood pressure by reducing urine output?
ADH (Antidiuretic hormone). ADH is secreted in the pituitary gland and it works by increasing the amount of water reabsorbed in the kidney and hence, less urine is produced.
What is the hormone that reduces the loss of sodium and water by the kidney?
Aldosterone
Does Antidiuretic hormone inhibits urine production and promote water reabsorption by the kidney?
NO. it increases the permeability of the cells lining the collecting duct via the insertion of Aquaporin 2. This increases the volume of water that is reabsorbed resulting in a concentrated urine. Urine is still produced but not a great amounts.
What hormone is made to absorb more water from the fluids processed by the kidney in the body?
ADH (anti-diuretic hormone).
What tells the kidney how much water to re-absorb?
Antidiuretic hormone ADH
