Diuretics are administered to increase urine secretion?
Yes.
Neurohypophyseal secretion of stimulates formation of concentrated urine?
Neurohypophyseal secretion of antidiuretic hormone or ADH stimulates the formation of concentrated urine. This hormone is also known as argipressin.
What is an antisecretory?
An antisecretory is an agent or drug which decreases gastric secretion.
What is the medical term meaning diminished or lack of urine production or secretion?
Diminished or scant urine production is oliguria. Anuria is absent urine production.
Does ADH promote secretion of sodium ions?
No! it doesn't. It just promotes your free water reabsorption in the distal tubules of the kidney. It increases the amount of aquaporines in the cell membrane, causing an influx of water in the medulla of the kidney. Sodium concentration of the urine will be higher because the urine is more concentrated. However, there isn't more sodium excreted.
What happens during the process of secretion?
Chemicals get secreted from the blood, and into the urine and out of the body.
What is the name of the hormone that promotes sodium retention and potassium secretion?
Natriuretic hormones
What are the four main physiological processes that contribute to urine formation?
Filtration of blood, re-absorption, secretion of substances, concentration of urine
What substance in urine is a cleaning agent?
Ammonia is a cleaning agent.
What is the mechanism of urine formation?
The mechanism of urine formation takes place by three steps. they are glomerular filtration, tubular reabsorption and tubular secretion.
Proton pump inhibitors are agent used to block gastric acid secretion in the?
proton pump inhibitors are agents used to block gastric acid secretion in the
What are the effects of hyper secretion of ADH in urine quantity and component?
ADH is short for Anti Diuretic Hormone and it prevents excess water loss. As such, a hyper-secretion of ADH will result in less urine by volume, and the urine will have a lower concentration of water. Conversely, it will have a higher concentration of solutes (Sodium, Potassium, Urea, etc.)
