question
What regulates the rate of water loss?
answer
kidney
question
A student in your physiology lab is thirsty and decides to sneak a drink of deionized or distilled water. The student drinks a fairly large quantity of this water in a short period of time. What will happen to the student's cells?
answer
it will cause the student's cells to swell
question
Kidneys compensate for changes in plasma volume and osmolarity by adjusting the rate of water
answer
reabsorption only

answer
urea
question
From where is ADH released?
answer
posterior pituitary
question
Antidiuretic hormone binds to receptors on ________ cells in the collecting ducts and distal tubules where it________.
answer

question
Consumption of salty foods without drinking water will increase plasma osmolarity and cause cells to shrink.
answer
true
question
If glomerular filtration decreases, water excretion tends to decrease as well.
answer
true
question
As the body becomes dehydrated, the osmolarity of the body fluids decreases.
answer
false
question
Tubular epithelial cells of the collecting duct and distal tubule contain receptors for what hormone that stimulates sodium reabsorption?
answer
aldosterone

answer
low osmolarity and large volume

answer
true
question
Which of the following is NOT one of the functions of angiotensin II? A) Angiotensin II stimulates vasoconstriction. B) Angiotensin II stimulates ADH secretion. C) Angiotensin II stimulates the secretion of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) by cells of the atria of the heart. D) Angiotensin II stimulates the secretion of aldosterone.
answer
C) Angiotensin II stimulates the secretion of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) by cells of the atria of the heart.
