regulated by the osmolality of the circulating blood. Osmolality refers to the concentration of dissolved chemicals (such as sodium, potassium, and chloride; together called solute) circulating in the fluid base of the blood

∙ 15y agoADH is a hormone produced in the hypothalamus and secreted by the posterior pituitary. ADH is secreted in response to decreasing blood volume. ADH affects the permeability of the nephrons in the kidney to water. ADH makes the nephrons more permeable to water, increasing the amount of water retained by the body. Homeostasis is maintained because more water is returned to the blood, decreasing the loss of water and maintaining the blood volume.

Premeability to water is regulated by ADH in this structure?
The principal cells in the distal convoluted tubule.
When does the collecting duct become more permeable to water?
A. colloid osmotic pressure increases B. ADH production increases C. plasma osmolality decreases D. aldosterone production decreases Answer: When...(B) ADH production increases
The thick segments in the ascending limb of the loop of Henle contain A ADH-regulated permeability. B an aldosterone-regulated pump. C transport mechanisms that pump solutes out of the filtra?
a
The regulations of the sleep cycle water balance and the production of ADH occurs in the what part of the body?
hypothalmus
Hormone production is self regulated by which mechanism?
Endocrine
What suppresses adh production?
Low concentration of water in body fluids suppresses ADH.

What internal body structure maintains the water level?
Kidneys (regulated by the pituitary gland released neurotransmitter ADH)
The thick segments in the ascending limb of the loop of Henle contain A ADH-regulated permeability. B an aldosterone-regulated pump. C transport mechanisms that pump solutes out of the filtra?
a
How is anti diuretic hormone secretion regulated?
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is regulated by the pituitary gland. The anitidiuretic hormone maintains blood pressure and controls incoming water through the kidneys
Is ADH inhibited by alcohol or increases urine production or promotes dehydration or is produced in the adenohypophysis?
adenohypophysis
The regulations of the sleep cycle water balance and the production of ADH occurs in the what part of the body?
hypothalmus
What decreases water loss by increasing reabsorption of water into blood and decreasing urine production?
ADH
Hormone production is self regulated by which mechanism?
Endocrine
What process is promoted by ADH?
ADH controls the rate that filtrate moves from the glomerulus into Bowman's capsule. ADH is also the only hormone that provides a system of control over the kidneys as an osmoregulator for urine production. Low levels of ADH in the blood are the brains response to thirst. Also during times of higher solute concentrations, ADH causes more water to be realesed from the nephrons to be reabsorbed by the blood.
What would be a major symptom if a person had a decrease in ADH production?
their brians blow up and spill out their ears
