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 obligatory reabsorption?
the reabsorption of water from pct,alh in nephron which is not influenced by adh.
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.
What is the terminal part of the nephron?
Papillary duct or DCT The thing in this question that stands out to me is "part of the nephron". Actually the parts of a nephron only include renal corpuscle, proximal convoluted tuble, nephron loop, and distal convoluted tubule. I would a say the answer, if you read it the way I am taking it, is DCT. The papillary duct does follow the DCT but is not part of the nephron.
What is the cup-shaped part of the nephron?
The cup-shaped part of the nephron is called the renal (or Bowman's) capsule. It is located at the beginning of the nephron and surrounds the glomerulus, which is a network of capillaries. The renal capsule helps in the filtration of blood and the formation of urine.
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 obligatory reabsorption?
the reabsorption of water from pct,alh in nephron which is not influenced by adh.
What is the roleof anti-diuretichormone (ADH)in the body?
ADH makes the collecting duct & distal convoluted tubule of the nephron more permeable to water
What is the role of anti diuretichormone (ADH) in the body?
ADH makes the collecting duct & distal convoluted tubule of the nephron more permeable to water
What is obligatory water reabsorption?
the reabsorption of water from pct,alh in nephron which is not influenced by adh.
What is the role of anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) in the body?
ADH makes the collecting duct & distal convoluted tubule of the nephron more permeable to water
Which area of the nephron is sensitive to ADH?
The area of the nephron that is sensitive to antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is the collecting duct. ADH increases the permeability of the collecting duct to water by promoting the insertion of aquaporin channels in the cell membranes. This allows for greater water reabsorption, which helps concentrate urine and maintain body fluid balance.
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.
When the level of ADH increases does less water get reabsorbed by the nephron and collecting duct?
No, when the level of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) increases, more water is reabsorbed by the nephron and collecting duct. ADH enhances the permeability of the collecting ducts to water, allowing more water to be reabsorbed back into the bloodstream. This results in concentrated urine and reduced urine volume. Thus, increased ADH leads to less water being excreted.
Is the urethra part of a nephron?
Urethra is not a part of nephron. You have about one million nephrons in each kidney and you have only one urethra.
What are the parts of a nephron and functions?
list the parts of the nephron and describe the function of each part
Where does ADH act on the nephron?
collecting duct (system) and late distal tubule
