minimum urine output for adult 0.5mL/kg/hr ADH (antidiuretic hormone) - water retainer - vasoconstrictor (also called Vasopressin) - produced by hypothalamus - store and released from posterior pituitary ADH pathway - hypothalamus senses low blood volumed and increased serum osmolality - signal pituitary to release ADH - ADH causes kidney to retain water - water retention increases blood volume and decreases serum osmolality ANP (atrial natriuretic peptide) -...

Hydrography correct answers density dependent on temperature and salinity Compare horizontal and vertical currents correct answers Horizontal currents are typically stronger than vertical. Most currents flow horizontally, while vertical movement is very localized. Describe the Geoid correct answers The Geoid is the shape that the surface of oceans would take under the influence of earth's gravity and rotation alone, in absence of winds and tides. It is the ocean surface at rest and mirror...
