Question

During summer when there is water Loss, ADH is increased or decreased?

Answer 1

ADH:

1. A hormone that aids in blood vessel constriction and aids the kidneys in managing the body's salt and water levels.
2. This aids in regulating both blood pressure and urine production.
3. By regulating the amount of water and subsequently the concentration of urine discharged by the kidney, the anti-diuretic hormone maintains blood pressure, blood volume, and tissue water content.
4. ADH secretion rises in the summer when there is water loss and dehydration.
5. ADH promotes DCT's water reabsorption and stops excessive water loss through urination.
