Question: How is the amount of urine produced regulated?
The amount of urine produced is regulated by a complex interplay between various hormones and the functioning of the kidneys. The hormone ADH (anti-diuretic hormone) is produced by the pituitary gland and regulates the amount of water reabsorbed by the kidneys. If the body needs to conserve water, more ADH is released, causing the kidneys to reabsorb more water and produce less urine. Conversely, if the body has excess water, less ADH is released, resulting in the kidneys producing more urine to eliminate the excess water. Other factors such as blood pressure, electrolyte balance, and certain medications can also affect urine production.
