The front of the flashcard asks about water gain/loss in the body, and where ADH is formed, stored, and its role. The back explains that water is gained through drinking, food, and respiration, and lost through sweat, exhaled air, feces, and urine. ADH is formed in the hypothalamus and stored/secreted from the posterior pituitary gland, increasing the permeability of the distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct to water.
El anverso describe cómo el cuerpo gana y pierde agua, y pregunta dónde se forma y almacena la ADH y cuál es su función. El reverso explica que el agua se gana bebiendo, a través de los alimentos y la respiración, y se pierde a través del sudor, el aire exhalado, las heces y la orina. La ADH se forma en el hipotálamo y se almacena/secreta en la glándula pituitaria posterior, aumentando la permeabilidad del túbulo contorneado distal y del conducto colector al agua.
