Question

Reabsorption of water in the DCT of the nephron occurs in response to ______.

Options

• Thyrotropin

• Vasopressin

• Both Oxytocinand Vasopressin

Answer 1

Reabsorption of water in the DCT of the nephron occurs in response to Vasopressin.

Explanation:

Vasopressin, also called antidiuretic hormone or ADH, promotes water reabsorption in the distal tubules of the nephron and reduces water loss through urine. Oxytocin is involved mainly in childbirth and milk ejection, whereas thyrotropin stimulates the thyroid gland.
