On which of these does ADH act upon?(a) Glomerulus(b) Loop of Henle(c) PCT(d) Collecting ductThis question was posed to me in final exam.This interesting question is from Regulation of Excretory System topic in section Excretory Products and Elimination of Biology – Class 11

Answer» CORRECT choice is (d) COLLECTING duct

To elaborate: ADH or the antidiuretic HORMONE acts upon the latter parts of the NEPHRON to increase reabsorption and prevent diuresis. Hence, ADH or vasopressin mainly acts upon the DCT and the collecting duct.
