Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
On a very hot day a long distance runner will produce large quantities of sweat. How will the kidneys adapt to this situation?
A
Increased amounts of urine to remove amino acids
B
Decreased urine production to allow the body to conserve water
C
increased amounts of urine to help the body retain water
D
less urine increases the amount of amino acids
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -For instance, water is lost by the body in hot weather in sweat. This triggers the release of ADH into the blood which acts on the cells of the distal tubule and collecting duct to increase water resorption thus reducing the amount excreted.

Detailed explanation-2: -When you lose water through sweat, the collecting ducts in your urinary system open up, collecting more nutrients and water from your urine, for your body to use as energy.

Detailed explanation-3: -The kidneys regulate the fluid and electrolyte balance of the body by continually filtering the blood. This is vital to maintain a constant extracellular fluid volume and composition.

Detailed explanation-4: -The major routes of water loss are urine, feces, sweat and insensible water loss by evaporation from the respiratory tract and diffusion through the skin [1].
