**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding ADH**: The first step is to recognize what ADH (Antidiuretic Hormone) is and its role in the body. ADH is produced by the pituitary gland and is also known as vasopressin. Its primary function is to regulate water balance in the body. **Hint**: Remember that ADH helps in water reabsorption in the kidneys. 2. **Mechanism of Action**: ADH acts on the cells of the distal convoluted tubule (DCT) in the kidneys. It increases the permeability of these cells to water by promoting the insertion of aquaporins (water channels) into the cell membranes. This allows more water to be reabsorbed back into the bloodstream, resulting in concentrated urine. ...
