Which of the following statements on urine production is not correct?
Concentrated urine is produced under the control of antidiuretic hormone
The total volume of urine produced depends on the need for water excretion
if there is excess intake of water, dilute urine is expected
if there is a shortage of water in the body the volume of the urine produced is decreased
in the presence of antidiuretic hormone dilute urine is produced
Correct answer is E
- Antidiuretic hormone binds to receptors on cells in the collecting ducts of the kidney and promotes reabsorption of water back into circulation.
- Its most important role is to conserve the fluid volume of your body by reducing the amount of water passed out in the urine.
