What effect does salt intake have upon urine salt concentration and volume?
Wiki User
∙ 15y ago
The renal system (kidneys) is the main regulator of both blood volume and blood salt concentration, but the two factors are regulated somewhat independently of each other as both the volume of urine produced and it's salt concentration vary with their own hormone system.

What happened to the urine volume as the concentration gradient increased?
The urine volume decreased as the concentration gradient increased.
What happen to urine volume when water intake is decreased?
The urine volume will decrease.
What effect does the concentration gradient of the interstitial fluid have on the maximum urine concentration?
The urine concentration increased.
What happend to the volume of urine as the solute concentration in the interstitial space was increased?
the urine volume decreased
What effect would drinking water have on fluid handling in kidney?
Too much fluid intake will cause the kidneys to produce more urine and inadequate fluid intake will cause the kidneys to conserve body fluids by reducing the volume of urine excreted

If a tumor of the glucocorticoid-secreting cells of the adrenal cortex crowds out the cells that produce aldosterone what is the likely effect on urine composition and volume?
increase urine composition and increace volume
What is the effect and mechanism of furosemide on urine volume?
Furosemide is a common diuretic drug given to lower the blood pressure by lowering volume. It does this by stimulating the kidneys to reabsorb less water and so uncreasing the urine output. The result is greater volume more dilute urine.
How does heat effect urine?
Urine doesn't create or excrete heat. It dissipates heat and it would be the value of the temperature and the volume of the urine probably expressed in "calories" of heat energy. For humans the urine exits the body at about 99 degrees, but the volume would be a variable.
What effect would eating two chocolate bars have on the quantity and concentration of the urine?
it makes it go purple and spakerly
In no more than one line, explain why when investigating the primary hypocalciuric hypercalcemia we measure the ratio of (Urine calcium/urine creatinin) not just urine calcium?
Measuring the ratio of urine calcium to urine creatinine corrects for differences in urine concentration due to variations in fluid intake and urinary output.
How does ADH affect the concentration of potassium in urine?
Affects the concentration of potassium in the urine by controlling the amount of water in the urine.
