Describe how adh secretion maintains plasma osmolarity levels during dehydration and water loading

1 answer:

4 0

Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) acts on the vascular system and the urinary system to regulate solute-water content in the body. During dehydration, secreted by the posterior pituitary gland, the hormone promotes reabsorption of water from urine in the renal tubules hence decreasing plasma osmolarity.

Pollution and climate change can cause coral reefs to die. How would the medical field most likely be directly affected if coral

Marizza181 [45]

<h3>Answer: <u><em>Hope this helps</em></u></h3><h3><u><em /></u></h3>

Explanation:

<h2><u><em>Climate change is the greatest global threat to coral reef ecosystems. Scientific evidence now clearly indicates that the Earth's atmosphere and ocean are warming, and that these changes are primarily due to greenhouse gases derived from human activities. </em></u></h2><h2><u><em> </em></u></h2><h2><u><em>As temperatures rise, mass coral bleaching events and infectious disease outbreaks are becoming more frequent. Additionally, carbon dioxide absorbed into the ocean from the atmosphere has already begun to reduce calcification rates in reef-building and reef-associated organisms by altering seawater chemistry through decreases in pH. This process is called ocean acidification. </em></u></h2><h2><u><em> </em></u></h2><h2><u><em>Climate change will affect coral reef ecosystems, through sea level rise, changes to the frequency and intensity of tropical storms, and altered ocean circulation patterns. When combined, all of these impacts dramatically alter ecosystem function, as well as the goods and services coral reef ecosystems provide to people around the globe. </em></u></h2><h2><u><em> </em></u></h2>
