Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

ADH (antidiuretic hormone) primarily functions to conserve body water by reducing the loss of water in urine. It makes the kidney's distal tubules and collecting ducts more permeable to water, leading to increased water reabsorption, which in turn increases the fluid volume of the blood and makes the urine more concentrated. However, ADH does not directly cause the solute concentration in the blood to rise; instead, by promoting water reabsorption, it can decrease the solute concentration in the blood.
