Can the water permeability of the PCT or DCT ever change? Explain
What will be an ideal response?
The permeability of the PCT cannot change, and water reabsorption occurs whenever the osmotic concentration of the peritubular fluid exceeds that of the tubular fluid. However, the permeability of the DCT to water increases in response to antidiuretic hormone (ADH)
