Question
In the space below, answer one (just one!) of the following questions. Be complete but precise in your answers. Animals with pituitary tumors are frequently unable to release vasopressin into their bloodstream as needed. Would y expect such animals to make more, or less urine? Explain. The exit and re-entry of fluid into the capillary, to and from the surrounding IF. takes advantage of different properties of water. What are these properties, and how exactly docs exit occur? How docs re entry occur?Explanation / Answer
a) Vasopressin is synthesized by the hypothalamus and stored in the posterior pituitary/ neurohypophysis.
Therefore, if an animal is affected with pituitary tumor, and unable to release required amount of vasopressin, it releases more dilute urine.
