Results from our forumDifference between ADH and Aldosterone?ADH regulates water resorption in the collecting ducts Aldosteron regulates sodium resorption (and thus indirectly water resorption) in the renal tubules. --> the effect is the same, but the mechanism iof regulation is different.

The Fiber Disease... poly-pseudo amino acid (poly [DTE carbonate]) and PEG 1000. This system exhibits attractive biocompatability, strength and modulus, and resorption behavior, which can be controlled by main-chain and pendant-chain chemistries. The nature of phase separation was studied by transmission ...

pituitary gland... uterus, placental separation and milk let down; targets the uterus and mammary glands 2) ADH: Anti-Diuretic Hormone (Vasopressin)- stimulates H20 resorption by kidneys, targets the kidney (Loop of Henle)

Bone remodelling... and stronger than the anterior and posterior aspects. Such a difference has actually been observed (4.1.8). Large cyclic stress causes more resorption than large static stress (4.1.9). Immobilization of humans causes loss of bone and excretion of calcium and phosphorus (4.1.10). Long spaceflights ...

Osteoclasts / Osteoblasts... and removal of bone. An odontoclast, also called cementoclast, is cytomorphologically the same as an osteoclast and is involved in cementum resorption. Osteoblasts: Cells that arise from fibroblasts and which, as they mature, are associated with the production of bone.
