Non ACTH mediated hormones - Na+/ homeostasis - Aldosterone/ADH
9 important questions on Non ACTH mediated hormones - Na+/ homeostasis - Aldosterone/ADH
What does aldosterone do after it is produced?
How is aldosterone stimulated to be produced?
2. Low Na+: renin-angiotensin system
What is ADH (vasopressin)?
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
What is the mechanism of ADH?
2. CAMP promotes vesicles with aquaporin channels to travel from Golgi and fuse with plasma membrane of collecting duct
What happens to the collecting duct membrane when ADH is no longer present?
How does ADH change the blood volume?
- Less ADH = lower blood volume (activates aldosterone)
What can lead to ADH levels being decreased?
How do Aldosterone and ADH collaborate?
- Aldosterone responds to blood volume changes from ADH
How is ADH secretion regulated?
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
