Term
| Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH) Origin |
|
Definition
| Produced by the hypothalamus, stored and released by the pituitary gland. |

|
|
Term
| Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH) Physiological Response |
|
Definition
Causes the kidneys to reabsorb more water and concentrate the urine by making the upper sections of the distal tubules as well as the entire collecting duct permeable to water. This conserves water. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Produced in the cortex of the adrenal gland, above the kidney and secreted by the adrenal gland. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The kidneys, specifically the nephrons. |
|
|
Term
| Aldosterone Physiological Response |
|
Definition
| Causes nephrons to reabsorb Na+(aq) from the distal tubule and collecting duct resulting in a high solute concentration. This increases the blood pressure because H20 follows the Na+(aq) due to osmosis. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Produced when renin catalyzes a reaction converting the protein angiotensinogen, which is produced and secreted by the liver. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Produced when angiotensin 1 is converted by angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) in the lungs. |
|
|
Term
| Angiotensin 11 Target Organ |
|
Definition
| The blood vessels and adrenal gland. |
|
|
Term
| Angiotensin 11 Physiological Response |
|
Definition
| Initiates vasoconstriction causing the blood pressure to increase and initiates the release of aldosterone. |
