Question
which of the following physiological responses is caused by the release of anti - d
decrease in the concentration of calcium in the glomerulus.
increase in water reabsorption in the collecting duct
increase in the concentration of calcium in the glomerulus
decrease in water reabsorption in the collecting duct
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH), also known as vasopressin, acts on the collecting ducts of the kidneys. Its main function is to increase the permeability of the collecting duct to water. This allows for more water reabsorption from the filtrate back into the bloodstream. As a result, urine becomes more concentrated, and water loss from the body is reduced. The glomerulus is involved in filtration, and ADH does not directly affect calcium concentration in the glomerulus.
