A patient suffers from severe dehydration. The posterior pituitary gland releases antidiuretic hormone (ADH) to help conserve water.
How does ADH achieve this at the level of the kidney?
- It increases the permeability of the collecting duct to water.
- It inhibits the thirst center in the hypothalamus.
- It increases the active transport of sodium in the Loop of Henle.
- It increases the glomerular filtration rate.
