Anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) affects the permeability of which section of the nephron tubules
Proximal (first) convoluted/coiled tubual
Loop of Henle
Distal (second) convoluted/coiled tubual
Collecting duct
If you are dehydrated (low water potential in the blood), the body must conserve water. To do so, the brain triggers the pituitary gland to ...
release MORE ADH, making the collecting duct MORE permeable
release LESS ADH, making the collecting duct LESS permeable
release MORE ADH, making the collecting duct LESS permeable
release LESS ADH, making the collecting duct MORE permeable
If you are over-hydrated (high water potential in the blood), the body must excrete excess water. To do so, the brain triggers the pituitary gland to ...
