Answer:

Antidiuretic hormone (ADH); Hyposecretion of ADH causes frequent urination and dehydration.

Explanation:

The antidiuretic hormone is released in blood by the posterior pituitary gland and serves to stimulate the water reabsorption at the collecting duct of kidneys. It results in the formation of concentrated urine and lesser loss of water from the body. ADH is released in the blood when the person is dehydrated or does not intake enough water.  

Hyposecretion of ADH results in the production of the copious amount of urine and loss of lots of the water from the body. The person feels thirsty due to lower water levels of the body and develops insomnia. Therefore, the given symptoms of the patient are due to the insufficient secretion of ADH from the posterior pituitary.

Describe how the specific gravity of the urine changed after drinking water, and explain the physiological mechanisms responsibl
gregori [183]
<span>Adult's urine generally has a specific gravity in the range of 1.000 to 1.030.

Increases in specific gravity of urine are said to be hypersthenuria. For example, increased the concentration of solute in the urine. While decreases in specific gravity of urine concentration result in hyposthenuria.
The concentration of solute levels may be slightly lower after drinking an unusually high amount of water, this occurs only because the urine has been diluted and concentration of solutes is less.
The lower protein level doesn't mean there are fewer solutes because it simply there is more water. Drinking an excessive amount of water is immediately apparent reason being urinalysis test which includes an indication for a specific gravity.
Specific gravity is referred to as the ratio which compares the density of urine compared to the density of water. If you drink a lot of water the specific gravity of urine is lower than normal.</span>
