Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Although the receptor sites for vasopressin are located on the basolateral border, the end result of vasopressin signaling is the insertion of aquaporin-2 water channels into the luminal border of the tubular cells, which increases the permeability of water across the cell membrane and allows for increased reabsorption of water from the filtrate.
