ADH stands for anti-diuretic hormone, suggesting that it's a hormone that stops diuresis (urination). Therefore, in the absence of a hormone that stops urination, less concentrated urine is formed at a greater amount.How much urine can you loose in one day (Quantity in cc's)?

What happen to urine volume if you did not add ADH to the collecting duct?

Without the presence of antidiuretic hormone (ADH), the permeability of the collecting duct to water decreases. As a result, more water is excreted in the urine, leading to a higher urine volume and lower urine concentration.


The collecting duct is impermeable to water in the presence of ADH?

Yes, that's correct. In the absence of antidiuretic hormone (ADH), the collecting duct in the kidneys is impermeable to water, leading to water being excreted in urine. When ADH is present, it causes the collecting duct to become permeable to water, allowing for reabsorption of water back into the body to regulate water balance and concentrate the urine.


What hormone signals the kidney to make less urine?

That hormone is called ADH or antidiuretic hormone. Diuresis means producing urine and antiduresis is the opposite.


What was the volume of the urine in the presence of ADH?

500


Dilution or concentration of urine is determined by the availibility of?

The concentration of urine is determined by the availability of antidiuretic hormone (ADH), which regulates water reabsorption in the kidneys. When ADH is present, urine becomes concentrated. Conversely, dilute urine results when ADH levels are low, leading to increased water excretion by the kidneys.


How does ADH affect the concentration of potassium in urine?

ADH, or antidiuretic hormone, increases water reabsorption in the kidneys, leading to more concentrated urine. As water is reabsorbed, the concentration of solutes in the urine, including potassium, increases. Therefore, ADH indirectly affects the concentration of potassium in urine by influencing the overall concentration of solutes.


When the concentration of ADH increases?

less urine is produced


What controls the volume of urine?

antidiuretic hormone (ADH)


What happen when ADH increases?

decrease urine output


Does adh concentrate the urine or the blood?

Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) concentrates the urine by increasing water reabsorption in the kidneys. It helps the body regulate water balance by decreasing the amount of water excreted in urine.


Does ADH increase water absorption?

ADH is what signals the body to retain urine. The reason urine is produced heavily when you drink alcohol the ADH is blocked so you have to urinate more often. Well if ADH is present the urine that pass will be more concentrated because resorption of water takes place at distal convoluted tubule of nephron and collecting duct in the kidney. But that happens only if ADH is present.


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.
