Questions Related to regulation of urine formation

If the concentration of urine  decreases .......... hormone will be released.

zoology excretion and osmoregulation regulation of urine formation properties of urine and regulation of urine formation coordination in human beings- chemical control

  1. LH

  2. FSH

  3. ADH

  4. Oxytocin

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A) LH is Luteinising Hormone which is not involved in the concentration of urine.

B) FSH is Follicle Stimulating Hormone which is not involved in the concentration of urine.
C) ADH (Anti Diuretic Hormone) is responsible for retaining water from the urine and preventing diuresis (dilute urine).
D) Oxytocin is the maternal hormone produced during child birth which is not involved in the concentration of urine.
So the correct answer is 'ADH'.

  1. Cocaine

  2. Tannin

  3. Opium

  4. Caffeine

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant of the methylxanthine class of psychoactive drugs. It is the most mildest stimulant and is most widely consumed psychoactive drug. It is present in coffee, tea and cola drinks.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D.

Absorption of ${ H } _{ 2 }O$ in DCT is controlled by

  1. ADH

  2. ACTH

  3. LH

  4. Oxytocin

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The water reabsorption in the distal part of the nephron is in accordance with the body's state of hydration, under the influence of ADH and is termed as 'facultative reabsorption of water'.  ADH is secreted in the hypothalamus of brain and released into blood stream from the pituitary gland. The collecting ducts become more permeable to water due to the effect of ADH, so more water is reabsorbed by osmosis and no expenditure of ATP energy is required. The release of ADH is triggered when osmoreceptors in the hypothalamus detect an increase in osmolarity of the blood above a set point of ${300 mosm L^{-1}}$. In this situation the osmoreceptors cells also promotes thirst. Drinking reduces the osmolarity of the blood, which inhibits the secretion of ADH.

Renin is secreted by

  1. Cortex

  2. Medulla

  3. Juxta glomerular cells

  4. Podocytes

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Juxtaglomerular cells are specialized smooth muscle cells of glomerular arterioles. They synthesize, store and secrete the enzyme renin. It plays a critical role in the renin angiotensin system and thus in renal autoregulation of the kidney.
