Question
adh helps to conserve water during dehydration. true or false true false
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH), also known as vasopressin, acts on the kidneys' collecting ducts. During dehydration, the body's osmoreceptors detect increased blood osmolality. This triggers the release of ADH. ADH makes the collecting ducts more permeable to water. As a result, more water is reabsorbed back into the bloodstream from the filtrate in the kidneys. This reduces urine output and helps conserve water, which is crucial during dehydration.
