Question
Chapter 36.5, Problem 1HYEW
Summary Introduction
To explain:
The reason for excess urine excretion after the alcohol consumption.
Introduction:
ADH (Antidiuretic hormone) is produced by the hypothalamus and pituitary gland secretes this hormone. ADH is responsible in the reabsorption of water during the urine formation.

Drinking too much alcohol is bad for your health. One unpleasant effect of drinking too much alcohol is a hangover. The symptoms of a hangover include headaches, nausea, tremors (involuntary muscular movements), and heightened sensitivity to light and noise. Some of these symptoms are the results of dehydration rather than the direct effects of the alcohol itself. Alcohol causes dehydration because it reduces the production of ADH.
(a) Why does the reduced production of ADH result in dehydration?
(b) Would the urine of a person with a hangover be dilute or concentrated?
Alcohol consumption generally leads to greater urine volume. How does alcohol affect urine
concentration in the body?
What part of your body stops operating correctly to cause thermoregulation is people who are paraplegic.

During the preseason and in-season training, the team will practice for 3+ hours, often in 80- to 90-degree weather. The coach incorporates adequate fluid breaks during practice; however, he allows the athletes to consume only water. The coach believes that sports beverages hinder performance and therefore forbids the athletes to consume them. The athletes complain of feeling fatigued, lethargic, and light-headed by the end of practices. What are the problems in this scenario? What should the athletes do to feel better throughout their practices? What hydration principles should the athletes follow?arrow_forward

Aldosterone increases sodium reabsorption in the proximal tubule. Increased sodium reabsorption increases water reabsorption, which then establishes a concentration gradient to increase potassium reabsorption. Od.

Sodium urate precipitates out of blood plasma when uric acid levels become abnormally high. This sometimes happens as a result of eating too many rich foods and consuming too much alcohol, which is why gout is sometimes referred to as the “disease of kings.” If the sodium concentration in blood plasma is 0.140 M, and Ksp for sodium urate is 5.76 * 10 - 8, what minimum concentration of urate would result in precipitation?arrow_forward
