(Solved)
An investigation was carried to show the effect of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) on urine production in a mammal. The rate of urine production was measured over a period of 30 minutes. Five minutes after measurements began; ADH was injected into a vein of the mammal. The results are shown in table below.
a) Plot a graph of rate of urine production against time.
b) Name the gland that releases ADH.
c) Describe the effect of injection of ADH on the rate of urine production in the mammal in this investigation.
d) Describe the mechanism by which ADH produces the effect seen in this investigation.
e) In a similar investigation, an injection of sodium chloride (salt) solution was given after five minutes instead of ADH. This injection was observed to affect urine production in a similar way to ADH. Suggest how the sodium chloride brought about this effect.
