Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

ADH is actually produced by the hypothalamus and released by the pituitary gland. It acts on the collecting ducts of the nephron, not the distal convoluted tubule, to promote water reabsorption and reduce urine output. Option B is also incorrect as ADH secretion is actually increased in response to large amounts of water intake in order to conserve water.
