Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) acts on the:

  • A Glomerulus to increase the overall rate of filtration
  • B Collecting duct to increase water reabsorption
  • C Loop of Henle specifically, bypassing the collecting duct
  • D Urinary bladder directly, increasing its muscular tone

Correct answer: B. Collecting duct to increase water reabsorption

Explanation: ADH (vasopressin) increases water permeability of collecting duct and distal tubule by inserting aquaporin channels. More water reabsorbed, concentrated urine produced.

Concept context

Nitrogenous waste, kidney structure, urine formation in the nephron, and hormonal regulation of excretion.
