What happens to the concentration of urine if the air temperature increases?

As air temperature rises humans sweat more. This means we lose water - which would otherwise have been released as urine. There is thus a higher proportion of urea compared with water in the urine; so, rises in temperature increase the concentration of urine.

What is the temperature of urine after urinated?
your body temperature
What limits the maximum possible urine concentration?
Water
Does ADH promote secretion of sodium ions?
No! it doesn't. It just promotes your free water reabsorption in the distal tubules of the kidney. It increases the amount of aquaporines in the cell membrane, causing an influx of water in the medulla of the kidney. Sodium concentration of the urine will be higher because the urine is more concentrated. However, there isn't more sodium excreted.
What is temperature urine?
96 degrees Fahrenheit
What is a inconclusive urine test?
A inconclusive urine test is when there is no decision if it's negative or positive. This usually happens when the urine is not tested right away.
When the concentration of ADH increases?
less urine is produced
What happens to the concentration of glucose in urine as the number of glucose carriers increase?
concentration of glucose in the urine decreases.
What happens as the concentration gradient of the intersititial fluid increases?
As the concentration gradient of the interstitial fluid increased, the potassium concentration increased and there was a noticeable decrease in urine volume excreted.
What happens to the volume and dilution of urine when alcohol is consumed?
Decreased ADH production increases urine volume and dilution.
How does the addition of ADH affect the concentration of potassium in the urine?
Anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) causes water to be absorbed from the urine back into the body. Everything else in the urine, including electrolytes such as potassium, is concentrated.
What effect does the concentration gradient of the interstitial fluid have on the maximum urine concentration?
The urine concentration increased.
How does ADH affect the concentration of potassium in urine?
Affects the concentration of potassium in the urine by controlling the amount of water in the urine.
When does glucose concentration in urine become zero?
The normal glucose concentration in urine ranges from 0 to 15 mg/dL. The glucose concentration in urine becomes zero when no glucose has spilled over into the urine.
What causes the concentration of urea to be higher in the urine than in the filtrate?
During reabsoption most of the water exits the nephron and enters the interstitial fluid. This increases the concentration of ions such as potassium in the nephron. In the collecting duct (at the very end) very little water is left and the concentration of potassium, sodium, etc ions rises (including urea). This is why urine is acidic.
What happened to the urine volume as the concentration gradient increased?
The urine volume decreased as the concentration gradient increased.
What is an abnormal high concentration of protein in urine called?
Hyperproteinuria is the term for an abnormal high concentration of protein in urine.
Where can find lowest concentration of nitrogen in urine?
The lowest concentration of nitrogen can be found in the urine when it is first produced. As it accumulates in the bladder, so does the overall concentration of nitrogen.
