fluids that leave the promixal tubule has a different conentration than when they entered

34
Q

diabetes mellitus

Hormones from the posterior pituitary

ADH

39

causes you to retain water

makes collecting duct permeable to water

decrease osmo conc–> means you have lost water, inhibits ADH

increase osmo conc–> stimulate ADH
