Question

Why do we pass more urine in wet and cold season?

• A. Impairment of water absorption by nephrons.
• B. Kidney becomes more active.
• C. Sweating is much decreased.
• D. ADH secretion is increased.

Answer 1

The correct option is C Sweating is much decreased.

When the weather is hot, our body system tries to keep our body cool by evaporating the water along with unwanted things (sweating) through the skin in the form of perspiration. So, skin helps the kidney by sharing its work of cleaning the body in hot weather. In cold conditions, as sweating is much decreased, there is no perspiration and the kidney has to bear the entire burden of excretion and hence we urinate frequently.
