An increase in the permeability of the cells of the collecting tubule to water is due to a(n) ________.
a. increase in the production of aldosterone
b. increase in the production of adh
c. decrease in the concentration of the blood plasma
d. decrease in the production of adh

Respuesta :

An increase in the permeability of the cells of the collecting tubule to water is due to an increase in production of ADH. Hormone ADH also called vasopressin is responsible for regulating the amount of water in the blood and is released from the pituitary gland based on signals from the hypothalamus, which detects the water levels of the blood. When too much water is in the blood, the hormone release is decreased and more water is excreted in the kidneys and thus increasing urine output.

The collecting tubule cells' permeability to water increases as a result of increase in the production of adh (b).

What is a cell ?

The cell is the basic unit of life. Every living thing is made up of trillion of cells. Cell carry out all the vital processes of the body.

ADH increases the permeability of the cell

  • Vasopressin or antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is a hormone which is synthesized in the hypothalamus of the body.

  • It controls the body's osmotic pressure, sodium homeostasis, blood pressure, and kidney functioning.

  • ADH increases the permeability of the collecting tubules of the water, therefore increase the water reabsorption.

Thus, the option (b) is the correct option.
