Which homeostatic mechanism is regulated by the hormone ADH?
Osmoregulation is the homeostatic mechanism regulated by ADH. It involves maintaining the balance of water and solutes in the blood.
How does the secretion of ADH change in response to blood water content?
The secretion of ADH changes in response to blood water content as follows:
ADH secretion increases when blood water content is low
ADH secretion decreases when blood water content is high
ADH- water reabsorption in nephrons
Increased secretion of ADH increases water reabsorption in the nephrons when blood water content is low, resulting in production of concentrated urine.
