Summary Introduction

Introduction:

The antidiuretic hormone is involved in the amount of water management inside the body. This hormone is secreted by the hypothalamus and pituitary gland found above the kidneys. The epithelial cell of the collecting duct is very permeable which helps in the retaining of water and is regulated by ADH. The presence If ADH inside the blood increases the number of water channels termed as aquaporins.

In the presence of anti-diuretic hormone (ADH), which of the following does NOT occur? OAquaporins will be present ONLY in the apical membrane of the collecting duct ADH will bind to an ADH receptor, which is a metabotropic receptor O Adenylate cyclase will be activated, producing CAMP OWater flows down its concentration gradient, from high to low solute concentrations OAll of the above would occur
Which of the following is an accurate statement about vasopressin? Multiple Choice It is the endogenic form of ADH. It contains ADH and oxytocin in a ratio of 10:1. It is metabolized and excreted by the liver and kidneys. It is administered intranasally to stabilize patients' fluid balance.
What is the consequence of antidiuretic hormone binding to specific receptors on the collecting ducts? Group of answer choices It causes the insertion of aquaporins into tubular membrane It causes a decrease in the binding affinity of aquaporins It leads to dehydration It causes a decrease in water reabsorption   need ans ASAP please
