increases reabsorption of water
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -[2] Therefore, slight elevations in osmolarity result in the secretion of ADH . ADH then acts primarily in the kidneys to increase water reabsorption, thus returning the osmolarity to baseline.
Detailed explanation-2: -Water excretion by the kidney is regulated by the peptide hormone vasopressin. Vasopressin increases the water permeability of the renal collecting duct cells, allowing more water to be reabsorbed from collecting duct urine to blood.
