Suppose a physiology student drank 16 oz of water in a 15 minute period. What would happen to their blood osmolarity? Would ADH be inhibited or secreted? Would aldosterone be inhibited or secreted? What would happen to urine volume? What would happen to the solute concentration of the urine? Relate the change in urine volume and concentration to ADH and aldosterone. Explain the mechanism.

Step 1
When the physiology student drinks 16 oz of water in a 15-minute period, this sudden intake of water increases the total volume of water in the body. This dilutes the blood, decreasing its osmolarity. Blood osmolarity is a measure of the concentration of solutes Show more…

Role of ADH in maintaining water level in the body. What will happen if body did not receive water for a day? and what ADH will do please explain step by step

What would happen to a person's cells after drinking a gallon of distilled water? Would that mean the distilled water is hypotonic, isotonic, or hypertonic?
Proper functioning of the human kidney requires considerable active transport of sodium in the kidney tubules. If these active transport mechanisms were to stop completely, how would urine production be affected? A greater-than-normal volume of hypertonic urine would be produced. A less-than-normal volume of hypotonic urine would be produced. No urine would be produced. A greater-than-normal volume of isotonic urine would be produced. A less-than-normal volume of isotonic urine would be produced.
