Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Her hypothalamus will secrete vasopressin. If her dehydration becomes severe, her secretion of vasopressin will increase.

<h3>What is vasopressin?</h3>
  • The posterior pituitary gland releases the peptide hormone vasopressin, also known as antidiuretic hormone.
  • Which is produced by the supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei of the hypothalamus (neurohypophysis).
  • It primarily functions as an anti-diuretic in the kidney, where it causes the body to reabsorb water by acting on the distal region of the nephron when it is dehydrated.
  • The AVP gene for it is found on human chromosome 20.
  • Vasopressin has an antidiuretic effect; it reduces the volume of urine by raising the collecting tube's water permeability.
  • It attaches to the G protein-coupled V2 receptor, which in turn starts a signaling cascade through the PKA.
  • Aquaporin 2 (a transmembrane pore) is produced as a result, and it is then transported to the apical/urinary membrane.

How does motion change
seraphim [82]

Answer:

The motion of an object is determined by the sum of the forces acting on it; if the total force on the object is not zero, its motion will change. The greater the mass of the object, the greater the force needed to achieve the same change in motion. For any given object, a larger force causes a larger change in motion.
