Renal collecting duct but I m not sure whether it is in medullary or cortical collecting duct? please correct me

  #3

Why not distal tubule?

ADH receptors are in distal and collecting tubules but most likely to be present in distal tubules.

shaking head

  #5

Proximal tubule

  #6

robin, i thought it was the other way round... most ADH-R in collecting duct?
i'd go for D

  #7

no

  #8

iF NOT CORRECT, i GO WITH E NOW (PROXIMAL TUBULE), Since dehydration causes an increase in absorption in proximal tubules.

right. according to Q bank explanation it is always the proximal tubule which has greatest water reabsorption as it reabsorbs 2/3 or 66% of everything( even when there is five fold increase in ADH) sad
