Sorry Well here's your smoke to juror brought to you

00:04

by home E o stasis there's No stasis like home

00:07

you know Check out the passage reading human body humorous

00:15

Bye yuri Hey all right And a question The hypothalamus

00:22

and pituitary gland are both part of the endocrine system

00:25

While the kidneys are part of the excretory system yum

00:30

Both systems play a role in osmo regulations The hypothalamus

00:35

regulates the rate at which a th is released by

00:38

the pituitary gland Which statement correctly explains the endocrine system's

00:43

response to an excess of water in the body And

00:48

here the bench lands Yeah Okay so what's this question

00:54

asking Well we've got four statements and we need to

00:57

find the one that explains what are endocrine system does

01:00

when our bodies brimming with h two o let's take

01:03

them one by one and see what they have to

01:04

say for themselves First up eh The hypothalamus will increase

01:08

the amount of water that the kidney to buell's re

01:10

absorb All right Well the question tells us that the

01:13

hypothalamus regulates the rate of a v h being released

01:15

by the pituitary gland But it's the pituitary gland itself

01:19

that's in conversation with kidneys Right swing skip What about

01:22

b The pituitary gland will increase the rate at which

01:26

the hypothalamus releases a d h Well no If the

01:31

body has too much water it needs tio get rid

01:35

of him A th causes the body to retain water

01:39

That's probably the last thing we need when we're already

01:42

doing the people date All right ease up The endocrine

01:46

system will decrease the volume of urine in the body

01:50

There's actually a direct correlation between the amount of water

01:54

and amount of urine namely more water more urine dhofar

01:57

Bodies packed with water The volume of urine would increase

02:01

not decrease Oh that's gone that leaves us with c

02:04

the hypothalamus will decrease the rate at which the pituitary

02:07

gland releases a th And yet once the rate of

02:11

a th goes down there will be less re absorption

02:15

and more urine Which is why you should never go

swimming immediately after downing three bottles Gatorade a pretty sight
