How is the amount of urine produced regulated?
Urine is the fluid and the dissolved waste materials which are excreted out by the kidney. Urine formation involves three processes:
When the amount of water or any fluid get increased above the normal amount, then ultrafiltration process will be increase due to increase in blood pressure of the glomerulus. Then this sends the signal to the brain or the hypothalamus to stop the release of the hormone vasopressin or antidiuretic hormone (ADH) which automatically helps in the regulation of the amount of the urine. ADH hormone deficiency slows down the permeability of the cells of the distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct that decrease reabsorption of water. This more filtration and less reabsorption produce dilute urine and then finally, the amount of urine get back into the normal state. That is how the amount of urine produced is regulated.
