ADH and Osmoregulation
-Osmoregulation is the control of solute concentrations in the body fluids, especially the blood
plasma
-ADH increases water permeability of collecting duct
-When hydrated: low ADH, less water reabsorbed
-When dehydrated: high ADH, more water reabsorbed
Urine tests
-blood cells: their presence is caused by a variety of diseases including infections and some
cancers
-glucose: indicated diabetes
-proteins:
