What else can I help you with?
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.
What is the role of aldosterone?
Aldosterone promotes water retention and reduces urine volume
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.
How is an aldosterone assay done?
Aldosterone testing can be performed on a blood sample or on a 24-hour urine specimen. Several factors, including diet, posture (upright or lying down), and time of day that the sample is obtained can cause aldosterone levels to fluctuate.
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
How does the volume of urine differ from the measured baseline volume?
The volume of urine refers to the total amount of urine produced by the body, while the baseline volume refers to the average amount of urine produced over a specific timeframe. Differences in volume can occur due to factors such as hydration status, medications, and underlying health conditions.
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?
The tumor would cause increased secretion of glucocorticoids and decreased aldosterone production, leading to increased sodium and water retention in the kidneys. This would result in increased urine volume and decreased urine concentration, leading to dilute urine with low sodium levels.
Which hormone limits sodium excretion in the urine to help maintain your electrolyte balances during excessive sweating?
Aldosterone is the hormone that limits sodium excretion in the urine. It is released by the adrenal glands in response to low blood pressure or low blood sodium levels. Aldosterone acts on the kidneys to increase the reabsorption of sodium and water, helping to maintain electrolyte balance during excessive sweating.
Which hormones in the adrenal gland function to control water and electrolyte balance?
Aldosterone is excreted from the adrenal gland to control water and electrolyte balance in the body. Aldosterone is a considered a steroid hormone which is produced by the outer section of the adrenal cortex of the adrenal gland.
Yeast smelling urine?
If your urine smells like yeast, you have an excessive amount of protein and sugar in your body. You should reduce your sugar intake and this smell will likely go away.
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.
