- Vasopressin is a hormone that is mainly released when the body lacks water. The release of vasopressin causes the kidneys to conserve water by concentrating urine and decreasing urine output. However, vasopressin also has additional functions in other tissues such as the brain and blood vessels, which are not directly involved in urine production. How might vasopressin trigger different responses in different tissues?arrow_forwardIn biology class one day, Mrs. Chabon wrote six physiological functions on the board. Then, she asked groups of students to each choose the three functions that are purposes of the excretory system. These are the lists they made. Group 1: maintaining pH level of blood; transporting hormones throughout the body; regulating growth Group 2: removing wastes from the body; digesting solid foods; maintaining salt and water balance Group 3: maintaining salt and water balance; maintaining pH level of blood; regulating growth Group 4: removing wastes from the body; maintaining pH level of blood; maintaining salt and water balance Which group correctly listed the functions of the excretory system? group 1 group 2 group 3 group 4arrow_forwardWhat would be the effect of a dysfunctional Na+/K+ pump in the cells of the following parts of the nephro:a.

- Which of the following is NOT a function of the excretory system? * Filtration of wastes from the blood. Secretion of ADH from the collecting duct. Maintaining pH balance by secretion of H+ ions.
