What is the connection of osmosis with diabetes?
Diabetes is a word in the Latin language that means "increased urine output".The word mellitus is Latin for "honey". The two together are increased output of sugary urine. When blood sugar reaches a high enough concentration the kidneys excrete the excess, and the glucose shows up in the patients urine. Because of osmostic pressure, water follows the flow of glucose into the urine and much more urine than is normal is produced. Other by-products of diabetes also enter the urine such as; ketone bodies which are by-products of a diabetics inability to synthesis and store fats properly. As these enter the urine, water again follows. Because of a high urine output, there is less water in the blood. It is therefore important for a diabetic patient to maintain a good water balance.

Why does the amount of urine that people produce depend on the air temperature?
Because it depends on whether the temperature is hot, if it is hot then the body produces less urine because it finds other ways of loosing water. i.e. sweating.. And if the weather is cold its the opposite, so in cold weather our body actually produces more urine, and less other ways of loosing water from the body. an exception of loosing water when we breath out every time, but in not very great amount the water is lost. hope this helps..im not an expert...just a student..helping out...:))
Why someone who is haemorrhaging with falling systemic BP and volume has a decreased urine output?
If you have hemorrhage, your blood is in a place somewhere else when it should be inside your blood vessels. You will have a decreased urine output because your body will increase water reabsorption to have a greater blood volume so your body will conserve body fluids.
What is the effect and mechanism of furosemide on urine volume?
Furosemide is a common diuretic drug given to lower the blood pressure by lowering volume. It does this by stimulating the kidneys to reabsorb less water and so uncreasing the urine output. The result is greater volume more dilute urine.
Why do the hormones ADH and aldosterone decrease urine production?
It's a rather confusing concept when learning Anatomy especially since we know that BOTH increase your BV and H20 Levels so why does our urine output decrease? You must remember that these increase water re-absorption in your system, if your body is secreting less filtrate and re-absorbing more... You're going to have a decreased urine output.
What organ begins to produce more urine due to the short term effects of alcohol use?
When you drink alcohol, the posterior pituitary produces too little AntiDiuretic Hormone (ADH) when you drink alcohol. The function of ADH normally is to increase the water reabsorption from your collecting tubules in your kidney and back into your blood. Basically, ADH is an anti - diuretic (diuretic is something that increases the water concentration in your urine) so it normally decreases your urine output and in turn keeps your body well hydrated by bringing water back into your blood. When there is a decrease in ADH, less water is brought back into your blood and ends up going out of your kidneys, out to your bladder and your urine output increases.
