What is the name of the cells in the nephron that respond to ADH and aldosterone?
Endothelial
What factor is responsible for the increase in the permeability of the cells of the collecting tubule to water?
Increase in permeability of the cells of the collecting tubule to water is due to an increase in the production of antidiuretic hormone (ADH). Aquaporins are constant components of the tubule cells membranes. Unless ADH is present, aquaporins are virtually absent in the luminal membranes of the collecting duct.A decrease in the concentration of the blood plasma
What is the effect of ADH on the permeability of the wall of the collecting duct?
coolio
Is ADH a steroid or non steroid?
It is a steroid. It is an antidiuretic hormone increases the permeability of the distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct of the kidney nephron resulting in less water in the urine. The urine becomes more concentrated as water is conserved.
What is obligatory reabsorption?
the reabsorption of water from pct,alh in nephron which is not influenced by adh.
What is the roleof anti-diuretichormone (ADH)in the body?
ADH makes the collecting duct & distal convoluted tubule of the nephron more permeable to water
What is the role of anti diuretichormone (ADH) in the body?
ADH makes the collecting duct & distal convoluted tubule of the nephron more permeable to water
What is obligatory water reabsorption?
the reabsorption of water from pct,alh in nephron which is not influenced by adh.
What is the role of anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) in the body?
ADH makes the collecting duct & distal convoluted tubule of the nephron more permeable to water
What controls urine volume?
Anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) is the hormone that regulates how much water is reabsorbed from the nephron into the bloodstream. It is called vasopressin in the US - ADH tends to be the British term, but they mean the same thing.
How does ecstasy affect ADH?
MDMA (ECSTASY) will increase ADH
Which hormone is secreted by the pituitary gland and increases the permeability of the collecting tube to water?
ADH, or antidiuretic hormone.
