No, it doesn't. It actually promotes water retention inside the body.

Before your urethra, millions of tiny tubules are found inside your kidneys which are susceptible to the action of ADH.

When ADH acts upon them, it increases the permeability of their walls (the walls of the tubules). Hence more water can be drawn out of them and held inside the kidneys, not drained into the urethra. Then this water enters into the blood vessels and hence retained inside the body.

This leads to the excretion of a more concentrated, strong colored urine because it will lack water. The lack of water will mean that the volume of the urine will also be reduced, hence the initials ADH meaning anti-diuretic hormone (Diuretic = something that causes urination, anti-diuretic = something that prevents urination).

Promotes reabsorption of water what is?

The hormone antidiuretic hormone (ADH), also known as vasopressin, promotes the reabsorption of water in the kidney tubules. ADH helps the body retain water by reducing the amount of water excreted in urine, thus preventing dehydration.


Does adh stimulate the sensation of thirst?

Yes, ADH (antidiuretic hormone) stimulates the sensation of thirst. When ADH levels increase in response to dehydration or high blood osmolarity, it triggers the sensation of thirst to encourage drinking and help restore fluid balance in the body.


Why do you think ADH prevents rapid dehydration of the body?

Antidiuretic hormone (ADH), also known as vasopressin, plays a crucial role in regulating the body's water balance by promoting water reabsorption in the kidneys. When dehydration occurs, ADH levels increase, signaling the kidneys to retain water and concentrate urine, thereby reducing water loss. This mechanism helps maintain blood volume and pressure, preventing rapid dehydration and ensuring that vital organs receive adequate hydration. By modulating water reabsorption, ADH effectively helps the body conserve water during times of need.


What Hormone stimulates the kidneys to absorb more water?

The hormone that promotes reabsorption by the kideny is Vasopressin


What stimulates adh secretion from the posterior pituitary?

ADH secretion is stimulated by factors such as dehydration, high blood osmolality, low blood pressure, and stress. These conditions trigger the hypothalamus to release ADH from the posterior pituitary gland to help regulate water balance in the body.

Related Questions

Is ADH inhibited by alcohol or increases urine production or promotes dehydration or is produced in the adenohypophysis?

Alcohol inhibits antidiuretic hormone (ADH) secretion, leading to increased urine production and promoting dehydration. ADH is produced in the hypothalamus and stored in the posterior pituitary gland, not the adenohypophysis (anterior pituitary gland).

What hormone would increase in the blood during dehydration?

Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH). • ADH helps to avoid dehydration or water overload - prevents urine formation

That is andeuratic hormone. ADH. It is secreted by posterior pituitary.

When dehydration occurs what hormone secreted by the pituitary causes the kidneys to conserve water?

ADH


What hormone is responsible for excessive urination with out glucose levels and causes dehydration and tremendous thirst?

ADH


What factors stimulate an increase in ADH secrection?

Factors that stimulate an increase in ADH secretion include dehydration, increased osmolarity of the blood, low blood volume or pressure, stress, and certain medications. ADH helps the body retain water by reducing the amount of water excreted in urine.
