What structure in the digestive system absorbs water?
The large intestine is in charge of water reabsorption.
Which hormone is responsible for facultative water reabsorption in the collecting ducts?
ADH is the hormone responsible for facultative water reabsorption.
What organ system is the lage intestine in?
The large intestine is part of the digestive system. Its main function is reabsorption of water from undigested food waste.
What effect there be on the body if digestive system wasn't working?
This depends on the definition of "wasn't working". The digestive system is responsible for the absorption of nutrients and water as well as removal of waste, it is part of the system which provides homeostasis of pH. The digestive system is also responsible for the production of various vitamins (as it is populated with symbiotic bacteria).
Where does most re-absorption of water occur in the digestive system?
large intestine.in the large intestine
What hormone is responsible for faculative water reabsorption?
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH), also known as vasopressin, is responsible for facultative water reabsorption in the kidneys. Its release is controlled by the body's hydration levels to regulate water balance by increasing the permeability of the collecting ducts in the kidneys.
How does sodium reabsorption affect water reabsorption?
Sodium reabsorption in the kidneys creates an osmotic gradient that drives water reabsorption. As sodium is reabsorbed into the bloodstream, water follows it to maintain the body's electrolyte balance and fluid volume. Therefore, sodium reabsorption directly influences the reabsorption of water in the kidneys.
What is another kind of organ system that you could expect to find in a starfish?
In addition to the water vascular system responsible for movement and feeding, you could expect to find a digestive system in a starfish. This system includes the stomach and digestive glands for processing food.
What are 2 factors that contribute to the excretory system?
Two factors that contribute to the excretory system are filtration and reabsorption. Filtration occurs in the kidneys where waste products, salts, and excess water are filtered from the blood. Reabsorption involves the reabsorption of essential nutrients and water back into the bloodstream while waste products are removed as urine.
What is obligatory water reabsorption?
the reabsorption of water from pct,alh in nephron which is not influenced by adh.
Is reabsorption of water hormonally controlled?
Yes it is. When referring to the urinary system the ADH is the hormone that controls this.
When the kidneys return salts and water to the blood it is called?
Reabsorption via a process called "secretion".
