Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is a hormone that regulates water reabsorption or secretion in the distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct.
Detailed explanation-2: -Water Reabsorption in the Collecting Duct ADH is produced in the hypothalamus, and stored in the posterior pituitary gland until it is released. This hormone acts on kidney tubules to increase the number of aquaporin 2 channels (water channels) in the apical membrane of collecting duct tubular cells.
