Answer to Question #105819 in Human Anatomy and Physiology for Brittney

Question

(i) Explain why eating large amounts of glucose can lead to an increase in urine production. [2 marks]

Answer 1

If blood glucose levels become too high, the body will try to remedy the situation by removing glucose from the blood through the kidneys. When this happens, the kidneys will also filter out more water and you will need to urinate more than usual as a result.
