What hormones has more target cells in the body than any of the others Antidiuretic hormone corticotropin releasing hormone growth hormone or oxytocin?
growth hormone
What hormones has more target cells in the body than any of the others Antidiuretic hormone corticotropin-releasing hormone growth hormone or oxytocin?
oxytocin
Which hormone has more target cells in the body than any of the others?
growth hormone GH
Is Antidiuretic hormone secreted by the kidneys?
ADH causes the kidneys to hold onto more water.
In circumstances where the body requires prolonged or increased levels of a hormone the DNA of target cells will specify the synthesis of more receptors on the surface of the cells of the target organ?
This statement is true, it's called up regulation.
Which hormone is involved in maintaining water absorption?
There are a couple of names for the hormone. Both vasopressin and antidiuretic hormone are the same thing. Increased blood levels of ADH (antidiuretic hormone) will cause more water resorption in the kidneys, and relative hemodilution. Please be aware that this answer pertains to water that has already been absorbed in the bloodstream. There is no hormone, per se, that maintains water absorption from the digestive system into the bloodstream. This absorption is driven exclusively by concentration gradient and osmotic pressure. There are no hormones involved.
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 hormone regulates salt and water balance?
Aldosterone is the hormone that is secreted by the adrenal cortex and promotes the retention of salt which then helps the body to retain more water. This is important for maintaining blood pressure in the body which is essential for proper kidney function.
Does aldosterone increase urine volume?
Increase. ADH is an antidiuretic hormone, so it wants to maintain water inside the body. The greater presence of ADH, the more water is reabsorbed from the urine by the kidneys, and the more water enters the blood circulation. Larger blood volume means greater blood pressure.
What is the relationship between antidiuretic hormone and the colour of urine?
As adh aids in the reabsorbtion of water in the kidneys urine becomes more concentrated so urine becomes darker.
How does the pituitary gland make you healthy?
It secretes a lot of hormones that regulate different things that maintain homeostasislike the growth hormone promotes growth of body cells and promotes protein synthesis, the thyroid stimulating hormone stimulates the thyroid to secrete thyroxin which regulates metabolic rate, antidiuretic hormone decreases excretion of water by the kidneys and oxytocin helps in childbirth.theres more hormones secreted by the pituitary but those are the major ones
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!
