You have been exercising for some time, which has made you sweat a lot. How is your endocrine system helping to conserve water in your body? A.The pituitary gland produces antidiuretic hormone (ADH), which stimulates the kidneys to reduce the loss of water in urine. B.The pancreas produces glucagon, which stimulates the kidneys to break down glycogen into water and release it into the blood. C.The thyroid gland produces thyroxine, which stimulates the kidneys to reduce the secretion of antidiuretic hormone (ADH).
Whats your view on this mate???
Vasopressin regulates the body's retention of water by acting to increase water reabsorption in the kidney's collecting ducts, the tubules which receive the very dilute urine produced by the functional unit of the kidney, the nephrons.
