When osmoreceptors in the hypothalamus shrink, the posterior pituitary gland releases ADH. The body's response to this is feeling the need to urinate. Select one: True False

Step 1
This triggers the posterior pituitary gland to release ADH (Antidiuretic Hormone). ADH acts on the kidneys to conserve water and reduce urine volume. So, the body's response to this is not feeling the need to urinate, but rather the opposite. Show more…

True False When a person sweats and does not drink water; the pituitary gland releases ADH: The renal pyramids in the medulla are the functional units of the kidneys The proximal convoluted tubule is responsible for reabsorbing most of the solutes and water from filtrate_ Osmotic pressure is sensed in the kidneys. Glomerular blood pressure would increase if the efferent arteriole were constricted. Aldosterone plays a key role in blood pressure homeostasis because it determines the levels of angiotensin Il that circulate in the blood at any given time A cross section of the kidney shows an outer layer called the medulla, an inner layer called the cortex, and a hollow chamber called the renal pelvis Urea is formed within the liver from deamination amino

Which is not true of ADH? (a) released by posterior lobe of the pituitary gland (b) increases water reabsorption (c) secretion increases when osmotic pressure in body increases (d) increases urine volume (e) secretion decreases when you drink a lot of water
True or False: In hormone systems, feedback inhibition occurs when the presence of a hormone inhibits release of the hormone.
