a hormone that affects urine formation is
Answers
Hormones that affect urine formation are:
- ADH (anti-diuretic hormone)
- Insulin
Discussion:
1. Anti-Diuretic (ADH) Hormone
Anti-diuretic hormone, also called Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH) or the hormone Vasopressin, is a hormone released by the hypothalamus (the lower part of the brain), which acts to regulate the water content in the body, through reabsorption of water in the kidneys, thus affecting the amount of urine production.
When the fluid in the body is hypertonic (having too much substance and too little water content) compared to inside the cell, this hormone will work to increase the water content in the body by reabsorbing water from urine and reducing the amount of urine production. This, for example, occurs during drought, or lacks drinking.
2. Insulin hormones
Insulin hormones affect the absorption of sugar from the blood and the formation of urine, thus affecting the formation of urine.
If the concentration of insulin hormone is low, as in people with diabetes or diabetes mellitus, the blood sugar levels in high blood because it is not absorbed by the body's cells properly.
As a result, the sugar in the blood will be filtered a lot by the kidneys, resulting in a large amount of urine. As a result, people with diabetes mellitus will urinate frequently.
Explanation:
Urine volume and concentration is regulated through the same processes that regulate blood volume. Antidiuretic hormone (ADH)—produced by the posterior pituitary gland —increases the amount of water reabsorbed in the distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct.
