ADH is what signals the body to retain urine. The reason urine is produced heavily when you drink alcohol the ADH is blocked so you have to urinate more often.

Well if ADH is present the urine that pass will be more concentrated because resorption of water takes place at distal convoluted tubule of nephron and collecting duct in the kidney. But that happens only if ADH is present.

How does ADH hormone work and when does it get secreted?

Increase the re absorption of water. It is secreted when water intake is low


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 hormones influence urinary absorption?

Mainly it is affected by Antideuratic hormone.It is secreted by posterior pituitary.


What are the functions of the distal convoluted tubule in urine production?

absorption of more Na+ (if aldosterone present) and absorption of more water (if ADH is present)


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. :)


Predict what would happen to urine volume if you did not add ADH to the collecting duct?

urine volume would hugely increase ... because the ADH is an anti-urination material.


Is aldosterone released when someone is dehydrated?

No,ADH is released.It increase reabsorption of water.


How do you increase water absorbtion?

water absorption form where.


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

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


How does ecstasy affect ADH?

MDMA (ECSTASY) will increase ADH


What hormone would increase in the blood during dehydration?

Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH). • ADH helps to avoid dehydration or water overload - prevents urine formation


State the function of the hormones ADH?

Anti-Diurtetic Hormone is a hormone used by your kidneys and determines how much water your body retains or excretes. It is made in the hypothalamus (homeostasis control center of sorts) and this hormone directly effects blood pressure and body water composition
