A clinician is investigating endocrine and homeostatic disorders in patients.
Draw one straight line from each physiological condition to its primary underlying mechanism.
Physiological Condition
- Diabetes mellitus
- Diabetes insipidus
Primary Underlying Mechanism
- Inability of the kidneys to reabsorb water due to a lack of ADH secretion or response
- Failure of the proximal convoluted tubule to reabsorb urea
- Inability of body cells to take up glucose due to lack of insulin secretion or response
- Excessive filtration of plasma proteins through the basement membrane of the Bowman's capsule
- Hyper-osmotic gradient established solely by the active transport of water in the descending limb
