Sample Problem #1. Determine the force of gravitational attraction between the earth (m = 5.98 x 10 24 kg) and a 70-kg physics student if the student is standing at sea level, a distance of 6.38 x 10 6 m from earth's center.
Vasopressin, also known as arginine vasopressin (AVP), antidiuretic hormone (ADH), or argipressin, is a neurohypophysial hormone found in most mammals. Its two primary functions are to retain water in the body and to constrict blood vessels.asopressin is a peptide hormone that increases water permeability of the kidney's collecting duct and distal convoluted tubule by inducing translocation of aquaporin-CD water channels in the plasma membrane of collecting duct cells.
Lesson Summary. ADH is antidiuretic hormone and is also called vasopressin. It's responsible for regulating the amount of water in the blood, and is released from the pituitary gland based on signals from the hypothalamus, which detects the water levels in the blood.esson Summary.
