Question

Anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) production is inhibited by alcohol. What would happer to your water reabsorption in the collecting duct if you drink alcohol? a. Water reabsorption would increase because ADH decreases water reabsorption b. Water reabsorption would decrease because ADH increases water reabsorption c. Water reabsorption would decrease because ADH decreases water reabsorption d. Water reabsorption would increase because ADH increases water reabsorption e Water reabsorntion is not regulated in the collecting duct

Explanation / Answer

1. b. Water reabsorption will decrease because ADH increases water reabsorption.

ADH hormone helps increase water reabsorption. Alcohol inhibits ADH production. So when you drink alcohol, ADH production will decrease and it will decrease water reabsorption. As a result, the person will produce more urine.

2. d. Proximal convoluted tubule.

Most of the water and solutes in the nephron are reabsorbed by the proximal convoluted tubule.
