Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Water reabsorption occurs passively by osmosis in the proximal tubule, passively in the descending limb of the loop of Henle, and under the control of vasopressin (also known as antidiuretic hormone) in the distal and collecting tubules. However, it does not occur by active transport in the distal and collecting tubules.
