The ability to concentrate urine depends on the functions of the kidneys, specifically the nephrons. Nephrons filter blood and reabsorb necessary substances while secreting wastes. Hormones like antidiuretic hormone (ADH) also play a role in regulating water reabsorption in the kidneys, which affects urine concentration.
The neurohypophyseal secretion of ADH (antidiuretic hormone) promotes water reabsorption in the kidneys, leading to the formation of concentrated urine. ADH acts on the collecting ducts of the nephrons in the kidneys to increase their permeability to water, allowing the body to conserve water and produce concentrated urine.
Urea is primarily concentrated in urine, as it is a waste product produced by the liver during the breakdown of proteins. It is filtered out of the blood by the kidneys and excreted in the urine.
In a dehydrated person, the urine pH tends to be more acidic (pH below 7) due to the concentrated nature of the urine and increased reabsorption of bicarbonate in the kidneys. This happens as the body tries to conserve water by producing more concentrated urine.
aldosterone is the hormone that decides this

A bilby has very concentrated urine as an adaptation to its arid habitat, allowing it to conserve water efficiently. This ability is crucial for survival in environments where water is scarce, as it enables the bilby to minimize water loss through excretion. By producing concentrated urine, bilbies can maintain hydration and thrive in their dry surroundings.
The color of urine is determined on how concentrated the urine is. It's from all of the toxins being excreted. In the morning it's a fasting urine and you haven't drank fluids all night. So it's concentrated and dark yellow. During the day, you drink and dilute the urine so there more water in the urine, less concentrated and lighter in color
Someone with highly concentrated urine may be dehydrated, and fluids may help.
To make urine more concentrated, drink less water and consume foods high in salt and protein. This will reduce the amount of water in the body, leading to more concentrated urine.
Concentrated Urine.
It tries really really hard! Nah, i think it depends on how much fluids you have in your system, if your urine is yellow then it has a higher urea concentration. If its clear, a lower urea concentration
apparently the spinifex hopping mouse has the most concentrated urine of all mammals "Urination and defecation is minimized and the urine is the most concentrated of any mammal." i got this while doing a bio assignment. the website was http:/animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu
Typically, summer temperatures cause people to become dehydrated. Dehydrated people produce concentrated urine.
By drinking fresh water.
Increased and overly concentrated.
Antidiuretic hormone(ADH) reabsorbs water from the collecting tubules of the kidney causing urine to become concentrated.
