    Lab Report Activity Urine

    Uploaded by

    This laboratory report summarizes an experiment that examined the influence of fluid intake on urine formation. The experiment measured urine and plasma osmolarity and urine production rates under normal, dehydrated, and water loaded conditions. The results showed that dehydration increased urine osmolarity and decreased urine production, while water loading decreased urine osmolarity and increased urine production. Plasma osmolarity did not significantly change with dehydration or water loading due to antidiuretic hormone regulating urine concentration to maintain normal plasma osmolarity.

    Average
    5. Does dehydration increase, decrease, or not change average plasma
    osmolarity (mosm/L)?
    6. Does water loading increase, decrease, or not change average
    plasma osmolarity (mosm/L)?
    DISCUSSION
    1. State whether dehydration results in production of a concentrated or
    dilute urine
    2. State whether water loading results in production of concentrated or
    dilute urine.
    3. Describe how ADH secretion during dehydration changes urine
    production and osmolarity.
    4. Describe how ADH secretion during water loading changes urine
    production and osmolarity.
    5. Describe how ADH secretion maintains plasma osmolarity levels
    during dehydration and water loading.
    6. Explain why in this experiment you did not see significant changes
    in plasma osmolarity during dehydration or water later loading.

    7. Discuss why maintaining plasma osmolarity within normal limits is


    important.
    8. Restate your predictions that were correct and give the data from
    your experiment that supports them. Restate your predictions that
    were not correct and correct them, giving the data from your
    experiment that supports the correction.
    APPLICATION
    1. Drinking alcoholic or caffeinated beverages increases urine output
    more than drinking an equivalent amount of water.

    How do you think these beverages affect ADH secretion?

    Would urine osmolarity be increased or decreased?

    2. Explain why someone with diabetes insipidus must drink more water
    than normal.
    3. Explain what happens to plasma osmolarity when you give a
    severely dehydrated person large amounts of pure water.
