What is Aldosterone?

Stimulates the reabsorption of sodium ions and the secretion of potassium ions

What is ADH?

increases water retention by making the distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct permeable to water.

What is Specific gravity?

compares the density of urine with density of water to determine the concentration of solutes in the urine.

Is the specific gravity and urine output high or low in a hypertonic solution?

high specific gravity and low urine output

Is the specific gravity and urine output high or low in a hypotonic solution?

low specific gravity and high urine output

Is the specific gravity and urine output high or low in a isotonic solution?

no change in specific gravity or urine output

What is a refractometer?

Measure specific gravity
