Osmoreceptors in hypothalamus
senses a need for water. (**You feel
thirsty)
Hypothalamus stimulates pituitary
ADH is released from the pituitary.
It targets the collecting duct in the
nephron (in kidney).
ADH causes kidneys to reabsorb
more water and produce more
concentrated urine
Blood vessels in body constrict
Blood concentration returned to
normal due to water absorption.
Cells in hypothalamus swell and
turn off the hypothalamus.
Lets draw it
Diabetes Insipidus
Disease related to kidney function
Pituitary does not secrete ADH
OR kidney does not respond to ADH
