Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -ADH then acts primarily in the kidneys to increase water reabsorption, thus returning the osmolarity to baseline.
Detailed explanation-2: -ADH increases water reabsorption by increasing the nephron’s permeability to water, while aldosterone works by increasing the reabsorption of both sodium and water.
Detailed explanation-3: -Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is a chemical produced in the brain that causes the kidneys to release less water, decreasing the amount of urine produced. A high ADH level causes the body to produce less urine. A low level results in greater urine production.
