1.Alcohol inhibits the production of ADH. What effect will this have on urine production? What do we call a molecule that has this effect
2.What are the different compartments of the body and how does fluid move between them.
1.
ADH (antidiuretic hormone) produced by posterior pituitary gland.
ADH usually increase the water reabsorption from the nephrons of kidney.
ADH cause decreased urine production and excretion.
Here, Alcohol inhibits the production of ADH so the decrease in ADH level causes the increased production of urine.
so urine excretion increased due to the nephrons doesn't reabsorb water.
ADH act on DCT and collecting duct of nephrons.
2.
Mainly 3 compartments of fluid present in the human body.
They are,
Interstitial fluid and plasma are components of Extracellular fluid (ECF) it carries 20℅ of total body weight.
Ions, fluid, molecules flows across the fluid compartment
Basically the flow occurs by diffusion and osmosis through the semipermeable membrane of the capillaries between the compartments.
