Reabsorption of Water - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Different types of aquaporins are aquaporin-
        1, 2, 5 and 9.
        
        Mostly, these aquaporins are present in the kidney.
        
        The other sites include are:
        leucocytes, liver, lung and lacrimal gland.
        
        In the collecting ducts, reabsorption of water is controlled by
        antidiuretic hormone (ADH).
        
        Renal handling of water by different segments of renal tubule is as:
        
        Proximal tubule: Passively reabsorbed (67%).
        
        Loop of Henle
        -Descending thin segment (DTS) : Passively reabsorbed (15%)
        -Ascending thin segment (ATS) : Impermeable
        -Thick ascending limb (TAL) : Impermeable
        
        Distal tubule and collecting duct (8–17%)
