Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is also known as vasopressin and stimulates water reabsorption in the kidney tubules by inserting aquaporins into the principal cell apical membranes. This increases water permeability and facilitates water reabsorption. ADH is released by the posterior pituitary gland in response to changes in blood osmolarity and/or blood volume.
