Negative feedback loop of osmoregulation due to water loss (ADH)
1. Stimulus - decrease in water in blood plasma (increase osmotic pressure)
2. Receptor - osmoreceptor in hypothalamus (detects high OP)
3. Modulator - hypothalamus sends a message to posterior pituitary to release ADH
4. Message - ADH is released into the bloodstream
5. Effector - nephron - DCT and collecting duct
6. Message - permeability of DCT and collecting duct to water in increased so water is diffused to surrounding capillary network
7. Response - increase in the amount of water reabsorbed into the blood plasma
8. Feedback - increase in water in blood plasma (decrease osmotic pressure)
