Question
Which of the following effects is caused by the action of ADH? Group of answer choicesIncrease water reabsorption at DCT and CTIncrease urine volumeDehydrationIncrease reabsorption of electrolytes
Solution
The action of ADH (Antidiuretic Hormone) causes an increase in water reabsorption at the Distal Convoluted Tubule (DCT) and Collecting Tubule (CT) of the nephron in the kidneys. This hormone is released by the pituitary gland and it tells your kidneys how much water to conserve. ADH constantly regulates and balances the amount of water in your blood. Higher water concentration increases the volume and pressure of your blood.
So, the correct answer is "Increase water reabsorption at DCT and CT".
