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

BREATHING – Respiration is altered due to left ventricular failure. The patient is tachypnoeic due to an increased pressure in the pulmonary veins that will lead to pulmonary congestion that lessens pulmonary compliance‚ which raises the respiratory rate. Also‚ increased blood flow

The oceans are one of the most sacred places on this earth‚ the last mysterious frontier left. They hold millions of different marine animals‚ and many more that are waiting to be discovered. However‚ the wide blue waters are beginning to fade fast. Recently‚ a new pollutant has been exposed‚ carbon dioxide‚ is causing this acidification. Ocean acidification is when the saltwater absorbs enough carbon dioxide from the atmosphere that it changes the pH of the water. This is what is happening
