Detailed explanation-1: -Vasopressin primarily acts on kidneys. The main function of this hormone is to increase the rate of reabsorption of water from the distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct of nephrons. Therefore it is also known as antidiuretic hormone(ADH).
Detailed explanation-2: -ADH primarily affects the ability of the kidney to reabsorb water; when present, ADH induces expression of water transport proteins in the late distal tubule and collecting duct to increase water reabsorption.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -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.
