ADH in Osmoregulation
Osmoregulation - control of water and solute levels in the blood to maintain a constant water potential of body fluids.
| Reduced water intake | Increased water intake |
|---|---|
| Water potential decrease | Water potential increase |
| Hypothalamus stimulated to release more ADH | Hypothalamus stimulated to release less ADH |
| Wall of collecting duct more permeable | Wall of collecting duct less permeable |
| More water reabsorbed into capillaries | Less water reabsorbed into capillaries |
| Less water in urine | More water in urine |
| Urine more concentrated | Urine less concentrated |
