Document Summary

Circulatory system is not on term test 2. Adh: the more sodium you absorb, the more water you eventually absorb. In the neurosecretory terminals, the cell bodies of these neurons are located in the hypothalamus and their axons will travel to the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland (where the terminals are that are loaded with adh) Immediately after the stimulation of the hypothalamus, sometimes thirst center or the hypothalamic center, the chemoreceptors detect the osmolarity of the blood and the sodium content. Low blood pressure and high osmolarity are the stimulation through the hypothalamic center to secrete adh. If we reach the bala(cid:374)(cid:272)e, (cid:449)e do(cid:374)"t (cid:374)eed to release a(cid:374)y (cid:373)ore adh, i ha(cid:448)e rea(cid:272)hed the physiologi(cid:272)al range: high plasma osmolarity means less water, reabsorption of water will correct the high plasma osmolarity. Lower osmolarity, you increase the amount of water. If we are losing sodium, how will the body adjust.
