Post by: bio_man on Jan 9, 2017 Hello there,
I have added a brief outline below: (https://biology-forums.com/gallery/47/6_09_01_17_8_14_09.png) (https://biology-forums.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view&id=24437) Kidneys are able to reabsorb or eliminate water depending on body needs. To achieve this function, they are influenced by several hormones, especially antidiuretic hormone (ADH), but also aldosterone and natriuretic factors. ADH (antidiuretic hormone, also known as vasopressin) is a water-conserving hormone: it increases water permeability and thereby facilitates the reabsorption of water into the kidney capillaries. ADH is also involved in the mechanism that induces the sensation of thirst.
