ADH AND ALDOSTERONE Flashcards
anti diuretic hormone =
ADH
ADH or aldosterone water permeable ?
aldosterone
produced by brain (to gland) or gland, is a chemical messanger
hormone
produced in adrenal gland (above kidney)
aldosterone
increases sodium retention
aldosterone
uses active transport therefore more water is reabsorbed
aldosterone
increases water volume and blood pressure
aldosterone
regulates blood pressure, if low in pressure produces more…
aldosterone
pulls in sodium excretes potassium
aldosteron
produced by hypothalamus
ADH
travels to pitutary gland (where is stored)
ADH
if body need water is released as to conserve
ADH
if body is over hydrated less is released
ADH
adrenal gland unable to secrete sufficient (or no) aldosterone, due to damage to adrenal gland or pituitary gland
leads to:
-dehydration
-excessive amounts of sodium
-low sodium = weakness, fatigue, weightless
-heart failure
addisons disease
addison disease fixed/helped by:
hormone replacement therapy
-fludrocortisone
it acts as aldosterone
