What will happen to the urine volume if adh is not added to the collecting duct?.
garik1379 [7]

The urine volume would enhance if ADH was not added to the collecting duct. This is because the ADH works on the collecting ducts where the increase permeability for water is improved, so less water is perspired into the urine, so urine evolves more concentrated.

<h3>What happens to urine volume when ADH advances?</h3>
  • ADH improves the permeability to water of the distal serpentine tubule and collecting duct, which is normally impervious to water. This effect causes heightened water reabsorption and retention and reduces the volume of urine produced comparable to its ion content.
  • In SIADH, the body is unable to subdue the secretion of ADH, conducting to insufficient water excretion and reduced urine output. Normally, when water is ingested, serum tonicity and osmolality reduction, and ADH are quelled, resulting in an output of dilute (less concentrated) urine.
  • A hormone that allows blood vessels narrow and helps the kidneys control the portion of water and salt in the body. This enables the control of blood pressure and the quantity of urine that is made. Antidiuretic hormone is made by a portion of the brain called the hypothalamus and is perspired into the blood by the pituitary gland.

Mumz [18]

Answer:

"I'm feeling a bit under the weather these days and I'm a bit feverish."

Explanation:

Clients who are taking immunosuppressants after a transplant are susceptible to infections, which require prompt treatment. Concentrated urine is not a sign of a problem and persistent scarring is inconsequential. Minor changes to diet should be assessed, but are not necessarily contraindicated.

The passage suggests that if a news commentator presented an editorial agreeing with the Huxleyan warning, many viewers would:
Anna [14]

Answer:

A) Take whatever action was necessary to combat the danger.

This response would be more likely in the case of an Orwellian culture, which the author states is like "a prison" and "much easier to recognize, and oppose than a Huxleyan [world]."

B) Listen carefully to the commentator and then explain the ideas to others.

The passage suggests the opposite response: "Huxley believed that we are in a race between education and disaster, and he wrote continuously about the necessity of our understanding the politics and epistemology of media, he  was trying to tell us that what afflicted people in <em>Brave New World</em> was not that they were laughing instead of thinking."

C) charge that the commentator was irrational or needlessly alarming viewers.

The passage suggests that the commentator would invite this charge: "Those who speak about this matter must often raise their voices to a near hysterical pitch, inviting the charge that they are everything from wimps to public nuisances to Jeremiahs."

D) Be receptive to learning more about the danger.

The viewers would be unreceptive to learning about the danger, because, according to the author, this world would appear benign.
