Imagine that an unprepared hiker goes for a long walk on a hot day and gets lost. He has no water, he is nervous, and he is sweating profusely
What effects will these conditions have on his endocrine system, and how will the hormones that are secreted influence his renal system?
What will be an ideal response?
Sympathetic stimulation (nervousness), low blood volume (from sweating), and high blood osmolarity (sweat is dilute) will stimulate secretion of renin and ADH. These hormones will cause vessel constriction, decreases in GFR, increased thirst, increased reabsorption of water in the kidneys, and increased secretion of aldosterone.
