Osmolality of blood increases with dehydration and decreases with overhydration. In normal people, increased osmolarity in the blood will stimulate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (ADH). This will result in increased water reabsorption, more concentrated urine, and less concentrated blood plasma.
Marcus Terentius Varro Quotes. Marcus Terentius Varro (116-27 B.C.) was the greatest Roman scholar and an incredibly prolific writer. It is estimated that he wrote 74 separate works in 620 volumes on all aspects of contemporary learning. Varro was born at Reate in the Sabine country into a family of some means.
He was the son of Gessius Marcianus and Julia Avita Mamaea, daughter of Julia Maesa. Just like his cousin Elagabalus, Alexander had inherited the priesthood of the Syrian sun god El-Gabaal. Alexander first came to prominence when Elagabalus proclaimed him Caesar (junior emperor) in AD 221. It was when he became Caesar, that the boy Alexianus assumed the name Marcus Aurelius Severus Alexander. His entire elevation was in fact part of a plot by the powerful Julia Maesa, grandmother to both Elagabalus and Alexander, to rid herself of Elagabalus and instead substitute him on the throne with Alexander.
