प्रश्न
How is the amount of urine produced regulated?
उत्तर १
The amount of urine produced depends on the amount of excess water and dissolved wastes present in the body. Other factors, such as an organism's habitat and hormones such as Anti-diuretic hormone (ADH), also regulate the amount of urine produced.
उत्तर २
- The amount of urine produced is controlled by a hormone released from the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland, called antidiuretic hormone (ADH) or vasopressin. This hormone's role is to promote the reabsorption of water from the nephric filtrate.
- When there is sufficient water in the blood, less ADH is secreted, resulting in less water being reabsorbed from the nephric filtrate and, therefore, more urine is produced. Conversely, when there is less water in the blood, more ADH is released, leading to increased water reabsorption by the blood capillaries surrounding the nephron, which reduces the amount of urine produced.

The organs A of a person have been damaged completely due to which too much of a poisonous waste material B has started accumulating in his blood, making it dirty. In order to save this person's life, the blood from an artery in the person's arm is made to flow into long tubes made of substance E which are kept in coiled form in a tank containing solution F. This solution contains three materials G, H and I in similar proportions to those in normal blood. As the person's blood passes through long tubes of substance E, most of the wastes present in it go into solution. The clean blood is then put back into a vein in the arm of the person for circulation.
