Which part of the nephron is under the control of the hormones ADH and aldosterone?

The distal tubule and collecting duct are the parts of the nephron that are under the control of the hormones ADH (antidiuretic hormone) and aldosterone. These hormones regulate water reabsorption and sodium reabsorption, respectively, in these segments of the nephron.


What is the name of the cells in the nephron that respond to ADH and aldosterone?

The cells in the nephron that respond to ADH are called principal cells, while the cells that respond to aldosterone are called intercalated cells. These cells play a crucial role in regulating the reabsorption of water and electrolytes in the kidneys.


The thick segments in the ascending limb of the loop of Henle contain A ADH-regulated permeability. B an aldosterone-regulated pump. C transport mechanisms that pump solutes out of the filtra?

B. an aldosterone-regulated pump. The thick segments in the ascending limb of the loop of Henle contain transport mechanisms that pump solutes out of the filtrate, which is regulated by aldosterone, not ADH.


Which of the choices below are the most important hormone regulators of electrolyte reabsorption and secretion?

The most important hormone regulators of electrolyte reabsorption and secretion are aldosterone and antidiuretic hormone (ADH). Aldosterone acts on the kidneys to increase sodium reabsorption, while ADH acts on the kidneys to increase water reabsorption. Together, these hormones help regulate electrolyte balance in the body.


Refering to a body and its functions?

Physiological refers to the body and its functions.

What are the functions of the distal convoluted tubule in urine production?

absorption of more Na+ (if aldosterone present) and absorption of more water (if ADH is present)


What two hormones regulate water balance?

Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) and aldosterone are the two hormones that regulate water balance in the body. ADH helps the kidneys retain water by increasing water reabsorption, while aldosterone regulates water and salt balance by promoting sodium reabsorption and potassium excretion in the kidneys.


Which two hormones normally have the greatest influence on the kidneys?

Aldosterone and ADH


What hormone aldosterone or ADH has the greater effect on urine volume?

ADH decides the volume.Aldestorone involve in maintaining blood pressure.


How do adh and aldosterone aid in the stress response?

adh and aldosterone both aid in stress response by maintaining the blood pressure. during stress the blood pressure increases. they both help bring it back to normal.


Does Both ADH and aldosterone tend to reduce the amount of urine produced?

yes


What regulatory chemicals involve or target the kidneys?

Angiotensin, Aldosterone, ADH, and ANP.


What hormones increase blood volume and blood pressure and how?

aldosterone ADH


Is aldosterone released when someone is dehydrated?

No,ADH is released.It increase reabsorption of water.

What are three hormones that can regulate kidney function?

ADH, Aldosterone and Atrial Natriuretic peptide(ANP)


Are the effects of aldosterone and adh similar or antagonistic?

the effects are similar. Both hormones are Na+/H2O regulators in the kidneys, they just perform this function in different ways. ADH contros the H2O in our bodies and how much is released while aldosterone is in control of what is reabsorded.
