Vasopressin inserts pumps in the collecting duct membrane that move water against its concentration gradient. Water is actively reabsorbed from the proximal tubule, and Na+ follows down its diffusion gradient. Water is actively secreted into the descending loop of Henle. Water reaborption depends on activity of active transport mechanisms related to Na+ The permeability of the ascending limb of the loop of Henle is modified by vasopressinarrow_forward
