Question
you go for a jog on a warm day, but dont have enough water. what does your body do? a releases vasopressin to conserve body water b releases parathyroid hormone to deregulate mineral ions c releases aldosterone to conserve water d releases aldosterone to regulate blood pressure
When the body is dehydrated (lacks enough water as in jogging on a warm - day without sufficient water intake), the pituitary gland releases vasopressin (antidiuretic hormone). Vasopressin acts on the kidneys to increase water reabsorption, conserving body water. Parathyroid hormone is involved in calcium and phosphate regulation, not water conservation. Aldosterone is mainly involved in sodium and potassium balance and blood pressure regulation, not the immediate response to water shortage.
