Kinda a simple question. When, for example, ADH is released and water is reabsorbed, where does this "reabsorbed" water go? Does it go to the vasa recta surrounding the nephron?

Members don't see this ad.
 
I think so, based on this picture here (not too sure how accurate it is though:

If not the vasa recta, then I'm sure into the capillaries that feed into the cells of the medulla.
EDIT: It's by Pearson I just saw! Lol it should be accurate then (if not then the validity of my whole bio series would be questioned :dead: ) Hope this helps! 🙂

Ah yes this is what I thought. Thanks for the picture!
