What happened to the urine volume as the concentration gradient increased?
The urine volume decreased as the concentration gradient increased.
If a tumor of the glucocorticoid-secreting cells of the adrenal cortex crowds out the cells that produce aldosterone what is the likely effect on urine composition and volume?
increase urine composition and increace volume
What happend to the volume of urine as the solute concentration in the interstitial space was increased?
the urine volume decreased
What hormone that decides dilute or concentrated urine will be formed?
aldosterone is the hormone that decides this
What effect does the concentration gradient of the interstitial fluid have on the maximum urine concentration?
The urine concentration increased.
What is the role of aldosterone?
Aldosterone promotes water retention and reduces urine volume
What happened to the urine volume as the concentration gradient increased?
The urine volume decreased as the concentration gradient increased.
If a tumor of the glucocorticoid-secreting cells of the adrenal cortex crowds out the cells that produce aldosterone what is the likely effect on urine composition and volume?
increase urine composition and increace volume
What happend to the volume of urine as the solute concentration in the interstitial space was increased?
the urine volume decreased
What hormone aldosterone or ADH has the greater effect on urine volume?
ADH decides the volume.Aldestorone involve in maintaining blood pressure.
What effect does salt intake have upon urine salt concentration and volume?
The renal system (kidneys) is the main regulator of both blood volume and blood salt concentration, but the two factors are regulated somewhat independently of each other as both the volume of urine produced and it's salt concentration vary with their own hormone system.
How does aldosterone modify the chemical composition of urine?
The higher the aldosterone levels, the more sodium that is reclaimed and the more potassium that is lost.
14.How does aldosterone decrease urine volume What does ANH do?
ANH opposes the action of aldosterone by inhibiting the recovery of Na+ by the DCT and collecting ducts. More Na+ is lost, and as water follows, total blood volume and pressure decline. In low-pressure states, ANH does not seem to have much effect. ADH is also called vasopressin
What hormone causes the kidneys to reabsorb sodium and water?
Vasopressin and ANP reduce water loss in urine. I don't remember which hormone reduces sodium loss in urine.
Does Both ADH and aldosterone tend to reduce the amount of urine produced?
yes
What hormone that decides dilute or concentrated urine will be formed?
aldosterone is the hormone that decides this
When there is more aldosterone being secreted a patients urine will appear light in color?
true
