Trace osmoreceptor detection and pituitary ADH release, explain aquaporin insertion in collecting ducts, and interpret urine concentration and output from marked Edexcel evidence.
The kidney is involved in the process of homeostasis in a mammal.
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is required for homeostasis.
How many of these parts of the kidney respond to ADH?
- Bowman's capsule
- collecting duct
- Ioop of Henle
- proximal tubule
A 1
B 2
C 3
D 4
A 1 is the correct answer
B not 2 as only the collecting duct is affected by ADH
C not 3 as only the collecting duct is affected by ADH
D not 4 as only the collecting duct is affected by ADH
