Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) makes the distal tubule and collecting ducts more permeable to water, which increases the reabsorption of water from the urine and reduces the volume of urine produced. This helps to conserve body water and maintain water balance. ADH is produced by the hypothalamus and released by the posterior pituitary gland in response to changes in blood volume and osmolarity.
