Which of the following hormones increase reabsorption of water in the collecting ducts?
A
ADH
B
renin
C
aldosterone
D
insulin
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Antidiuretic hormone binds to receptors on cells in the collecting ducts of the kidney and promotes reabsorption of water back into the circulation.

Detailed explanation-2: -The main action of ADH in the kidney is to regulate the volume and osmolarity of the urine. Specifically, it acts in the distal convoluted tubule (DCT) and collecting ducts (CD). During states of increased plasma osmolality, ADH secretion is increased.

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.
