What hormone aldosterone or ADH has the greater effect on urine volume?
ADH decides the volume.Aldestorone involve in maintaining blood pressure.
What is the role of aldosterone?
Aldosterone promotes water retention and reduces urine volume
If a tumor of the glucocorticoid-secreting cells of the adrenal cortex crowds out the cells that produce aldosterone what is the likely effect on urine composition and volume?
The tumor would cause increased secretion of glucocorticoids and decreased aldosterone production, leading to increased sodium and water retention in the kidneys. This would result in increased urine volume and decreased urine concentration, leading to dilute urine with low sodium levels.
How does aldosterone modify the chemical composition of urine?
The higher the aldosterone levels, the more sodium that is reclaimed and the more potassium that is lost.
Is urine ash?
Not all urine has ash in it. Sometimes, people's urine will contain ash, and this is said to be an incredible fertilizer, meaning it helps plants grow.
What hormone causes the kidneys to reabsorb sodium and water?
Vasopressin and ANP reduce water loss in urine. I don't remember which hormone reduces sodium loss in urine.
Does Both ADH and aldosterone tend to reduce the amount of urine produced?
yes
What hormone that decides dilute or concentrated urine will be formed?
aldosterone is the hormone that decides this
When there is more aldosterone being secreted a patients urine will appear light in color?
true
Which general anaesthesia can decrease aldosterone level as its side effect?
etomidatel
14.How does aldosterone decrease urine volume What does ANH do?
ANH opposes the action of aldosterone by inhibiting the recovery of Na+ by the DCT and collecting ducts. More Na+ is lost, and as water follows, total blood volume and pressure decline. In low-pressure states, ANH does not seem to have much effect. ADH is also called vasopressin
Which hormone limits sodium excretion in the urine to help maintain your electrolyte balances during excessive sweating?
Aldosterone is the hormone that limits sodium excretion in the urine. It is released by the adrenal glands in response to low blood pressure or low blood sodium levels. Aldosterone acts on the kidneys to increase the reabsorption of sodium and water, helping to maintain electrolyte balance during excessive sweating.
