What is the name of the cells in the nephron that respond to ADH and aldosterone?
Endothelial
What is obligatory reabsorption?
the reabsorption of water from pct,alh in nephron which is not influenced by adh.
What is the roleof anti-diuretichormone (ADH)in the body?
ADH makes the collecting duct & distal convoluted tubule of the nephron more permeable to water
What is the role of anti diuretichormone (ADH) in the body?
ADH makes the collecting duct & distal convoluted tubule of the nephron more permeable to water

What is the role of anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) in the body?
ADH makes the collecting duct & distal convoluted tubule of the nephron more permeable to water
What controls urine volume?
Anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) is the hormone that regulates how much water is reabsorbed from the nephron into the bloodstream. It is called vasopressin in the US - ADH tends to be the British term, but they mean the same thing.
Which part of the nephron is under the control of the hormones ADH and aldosterone?
ADH increases water reabsorption in the collecting ducts Aldosterone works on the distal convoluted tubule and leads to increased blood pressure.
Does ADH increase water absorption?
ADH is what signals the body to retain urine. The reason urine is produced heavily when you drink alcohol the ADH is blocked so you have to urinate more often. Well if ADH is present the urine that pass will be more concentrated because resorption of water takes place at distal convoluted tubule of nephron and collecting duct in the kidney. But that happens only if ADH is present.
What diuretic drug act at the distal part of the nephron?
Thiazides
Is ADH a steroid or non steroid?
It is a steroid. It is an antidiuretic hormone increases the permeability of the distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct of the kidney nephron resulting in less water in the urine. The urine becomes more concentrated as water is conserved.
What is the microscopic anatomical unit of excretion found in the kidney?
Nephron
