Question
antidiuretic hormone exerts its effects on the :
a glomerulus
b proximal convoluted tubule
c loop of henle
d distal convoluted tubule
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH), also known as vasopressin, acts on the distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct of the nephron. It increases the permeability of these segments to water, allowing for more water reabsorption. The glomerulus is involved in filtration, the proximal convoluted tubule mainly reabsorbs nutrients like glucose and amino acids, and the loop of Henle is involved in creating a concentration gradient.
