Water Adh Membrane Blood Means Reabsorbed Cell Surface

Reduced ADH levels lead to less water reabsorption as aquaporins are removed from the membrane, making it less permeable and producing more dilute urine.

This card explains that less ADH means less water reabsorption; aquaporins are removed from the membrane, making it less permeable and resulting in more dilute urine.

Front Less ADH
Back Less ADH in the blood means less water is being reabsorbed

Cell surface membrane folds inwards to create new vesicles that remove the aquaporins from the membrane

Wall is less permeable and more water passes out in urine with a high (less negative) water potential
