Question 1
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) acts primarily on the:
  • Proximal convoluted tubule
  • Loop of Henle
  • Distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct✔️
  • Glomerulus

ADH (vasopressin) increases water permeability in the distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct by inserting aquaporin-2 channels into the cell membranes. This promotes water reabsorption and concentrates urine.
