Question 1

What can cause ADH to become excreted?

Answer 1

Hyper osmolality (water loss) higher the osmolality, more ADH secreted.

Question 2

What can cause hypernatremia?

Answer 2

Water loss (hyper osmolality)

Question 3

Hyperosmolality

Answer 3

The loss of water also makes the blood more concentrated than normal

Answer 4

Low cell excitability, can lead to paralysis or fatal cardiac arrhythmias
