Which nuclei make ADH/Vasopressin?
Supraoptic and paraventricular
6 of 21
Where is ADH/Vasopressin released from?
Posterior pituitary gland
7 of 21
Which receptors do ADH/Vasopressin bind to?
V2
8 of 21
Where are these receptors located?
The basolateral cell membranes of the principle cells in the distal part of the nephron
9 of 21
What does ADH/Vasopressin do?
Increaase water and urea permeability
10 of 21
What increases ADH/Vasopressin output?
Haemorrhage, increase in ECF osmolarity, sleep, fright and excerise
11 of 21
What decreases ADH/Vasopressin output?
Alcohol

Hypovolaemia is detected by what?
Cardiovascular stretch receptors
17 of 21
What is pituitary (central) diabetes inspidus?
No/reduced synthesis or release of ADH from hypothalamo-pituitary axis
18 of 21
What is nephrogenic (peripheral) diabetes inspidus?
Lack of response by kidney to circulating ADH
19 of 21
What can an overproduction of ADH lead to?
Hypervolaemia, hyponatraemia --> water intoxication
