Endocrinology/VasopressinADH/ControlToWaterIntake/basic

POINT!

With water intake, the (red→blue) negative feedback decreases (the synthesis, secretion, and blood concentration of) vasopressin (anti-diuretic hormone, ADH).

1st star (illustration): Subject sweated. With water intake, plasma osmolarity decreases.(Synthesis, secretion, and concentration in blood of )vasopressin (ADH) (increases water channels. Water channels increase water reabsorption. Water reabsorption) decreases plasma osmolarity.
①(illustration): These are in the same direction (red).

②(illustration): Since these are in the same direction (red), negative feedback decreases (blue) (synthesis, secretion, and concentration in blood of vasopressin (ADH).

With the decrease in (the synthesis, secretion, and concentration in blood of)vasopressin (ADH), (water channel-decreasing effect is strengthened, and water channels are decreased. With the decrease in water channels, water reabsorption-decreasing effect is strengthened, and water absorption is decreased. With the decrease in water reaborption), plasma osmolarity-decreasing effect is strengthened.

Challenge Quiz

1.

Water intake increases decreases  正解! plasma osmolarity, and water reabsorption (through the water channels, which are increased by vasopressin, ADH) increases decreases  正解! plasma osmolarity. Since these effects are in the same opposite  正解! direction, negative feedback increases decreases  正解! (the synthesis, secretion, and blood concentration of) vasopressin (anti-diuretic hormone, ADH).
