What does ADH do in the kidneys? A Inserts acquaporins in the distal tubules and collecting ducts increasing the reabsorption of water. B Inserts acquaporins in the PCT only increasing the reabsorption of water. C Inserts pores in the collecting ducts only to decrease the reabsorption of water. D All options are INCORRECT.

How does ADH decrease the loss of water through the kidneys? a. ADH increases water reaborption in the collecting ducts. b. ADH decreases the amount of blood flowing through the kidneys. c. ADH increases water reabsorption in the proximal tubule. d. ADH decreases water excretion in the loop of Henle.
What effect does antidiuretic hormone (ADH) have on the nephron? a. It increases water permeability of the descending limb of the loop of Henle. b. It decreases water permeability of the descending limb of the loop of Henle. c. It increases water permeability of the collecting duct. d. It decreases water permeability of the collecting duct.
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is essential for water regulation in the kidneys. Once released from the pituitary, ADH travels through to the kidneys. Explain how ADH promotes water reabsorption. a. $A D H$ initiates a series of events that lead to release of more vasopressin hormone in the kidney, leading to the movement of water out of kidneys b. ADH initiates a series of events that lead to temporary insertion of aquaporins in the kidney, through which water moves in the kidney. c. ADH initiates a series of events leading to temporary insertion of aquaporins in the kidney, through which water moves out of the kidneys. d. ADH initiates a series of events that leads to the movement of water out of the kidneys through simple diffusion.
