|
|
|
increase reabsorption of salts
|
|
|
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: -Anti-diuretic hormone acts to maintain blood pressure, blood volume and tissue water content by controlling the amount of water and hence the concentration of urine excreted by the kidney.
Detailed explanation-3: -Antidiuretic hormone(ADH) stimulates reabsorption of water and electrolytes by the distal tubules and thereby reduce loss of water through urine.
