Disorders of Neurohypophysis - Vasopressin - Synthesis and Secretion
7 important questions on Disorders of Neurohypophysis - Vasopressin - Synthesis and Secretion
Which copeptide is packaged with vasopressin?
Do the osmoreceptors in the hypothalamus react to osmotic pressure changes caused by glucose?
What is the role of the baroregulatory system in the regulation of the vasopressin release threshold?
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
What happens when your ADH levels fall?
- Volume of body fluids increases
- Osmolarity decreases
How does the kidney work?
- filtration by glomunerus
- reabsorption of solutions in first duct
- reabsorption of water in Henle's Loop
- reabsorption of water in the end ducts by ADH
How does the reabsorption of water by ADH work?
- ADH attaches at VA2-receptors which has G-coupledprotein
- G-couppled protein activates c-AMP
- c-AMP activates aquaporin
- The ducts become more permeable
Why does a pregnant woman has a lowered threshold for ADH production?
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
