I. Describe the role of the following hormones in the formation of urine, specifically explain the stimulus for their release, actions (decrease/increase GFR) and whether or not dilute/concentrated urine results):

ADH (Vasopressin) – ADH has an antidiuretic action that prevents the production of dilute urine.
Formation of urine = in the DCT and collecting ducts, water movement out of the body is regulated by ADH.
Stimulus for their release = lowered blood pressure or low salt or water concentration in the blood will stimulate the release of ADH from the posterior pituitary.
Actions (decrease/increase GFR) = increased ADH would decreases the GFR and a decrease in ADH would increase GFR.
Dilute/Concentrated Urine Results = if there is a high amount of ADH, water moves out and will produce concentrated urine and if ADH is absent water will not be reabsorbed and will produce dilute urine.

Renin-Angiotesin-Aldosterone System
Stimulus for their release = if blood pressure drops dramatically this will trigger renin secretion from the JG cells, renin acts on angiotensinogen to form angiotensin I, angiotensin I is converted to angiotensin II therefore angiotensin II causes mean arterial pressure to rise and stimulates the adrenal cortex to release aldosterone. As a result, both systemic and glomerular hydrostatic pressure rises.
Actions (decrease/increase GFR) = the efferent arteriole constricts, forcing blood to build up in the glomerulus, which maintains the GFR. The activation of the RAAS causes a decrease in GFR.
Dilute/Concentrated Urine Results = activation of the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System will result in concentrated urine results.

Atrial Naturetic Pepetide (ANP) Hormone
Stimulus for their release = large increase in blood volume promotes release of ANP.
Actions = result is more urinary output, less blood volume and decreased blood pressure. GFR will increase with the release of ANP.
Dilute/Concentrated Urine Results = urine will be

    The Frank-Starling law of the heart is the relationship between stroke volume and end diastolic volume. The heart is innervated by the PNS and SNS (both from the ANS). The PNS will lower heart rate while the SNS raises heart rate. Increasing heart rate will move blood through the body more quickly and will stimulate the baroreceptors. An increase in arterial pressure causes an increase in firing of the arterial baroreceptors which will decrease sympathetic outflow to the heart, arterioles, veins, and increase parasympathetic outflow to the heart.…

    Aldosterone falls in the class of hormone called mineralocorticoids, produces by the adrenal glands and is found near the kidneys. It sustains blood pressure, water and salt balance within the body. This procedure is assisting the kidneys to preserve sodium and excrete potassium in order to maintain a balance. If Aldosterone production falls, there isn’t enough regulation of salt and water balance (as aldosterone is being lost through urination) triggering blood pressure and blood volume to decline as a result of the kidneys not functioning properly. If body is in need of salt, water is not retained and adrenals release more Aldosterone and salt is reabsorbed from the tubule.…

    The total volume of urine excreted daily, normally between 700 and 2000 mL. The smaller number represents the minimum volume needed to excrete waste products. When an individual consumes a hypertonic solutions, hypotonic, and isotonic solution, for example salt water, sports drink, and or water, the urine output will increase. Too much salt, carbohydrates, and water accumulate in the body, which will cause urine production increase. The increased urination helps bring the levels back to a normal range. Urine production decreases when the body experiences a deficit of fluid or electrolyte levels. As the body conserves urine, fluid and…

    The walls of duct in the kidney respond to ADH and the cells in the walls have membrane-bound receptors for ADH, to which the ADH binds to these receptors and causes a chain of enzyme-controlled reactions in the cell. The completion of these reactions is inserting vesicles containing water-permeable channels (aquaporin’s) into the cell surface membrane, thus making walls more permeable to water. When ADH is increased in the blood flow, more water-permeable channels are inserted, allowing more water to be reabsorbed by osmosis into the blood stream. When this happens, less urine, of a much lowered water potential, passes out of the body. This suggests that due to the cell walls being more permeable to water and also osmosis reabsorbing the water, this in turn lead to Leah’s water intoxication, as it was stored in the body opposed to leaving it correctly. Consequently if there is less ADH in the blood, the cell surface membrane is then able to fold inwards creating new vesicles to remove water-permeable channels from the membrane. When this occurs, it makes the walls less permeable meaning less water is then reabsorbed, by osmosis, into the blood. This again shows due to the consumption of ecstasy, Leah had increased ADH, fundamentally leading to water…
