Describe the role of ADH in urine formation?
Dear Student,
Please find below the solution of your asked query:
ADH (Anti-diuretic hormone) is synthesized by the hypothalamus and released by the posterior pituitary gland. It facilitates water reabsorption from the distal convoluted tubule (DCT) and the collecting duct, thereby preventing diuresis or increased secretion of urine. It makes the urine more concentrated. It is also known as vasopressin.
Hope this information clears your doubts about the topic.
Keep asking!!
Regards
