State

Antidiuretic hormone, per Bio 2935, inserts aquaporin channels into the kidney's collecting duct, letting water move out along the gradient the loop of Henle, per Bio 3239, established.

Show

Without ADH, the collecting duct stays impermeable despite the surrounding gradient being present.

Watch for

The gradient, per Bio 3239, sets the concentrating potential — ADH determines how much of it the duct uses.
