* This system allows both concentrated and dilute urine to be produced depending on ADH secretion and therefore the density of aquaporins in the principal cell membranes

As well as the aquaporins in the distal tubule and collecting duct significant water reabsorption occurs in the [[Proximal Tubule - Anatomy & Physiology| proximal tubule]] and the [[Loop Of Henle - Anatomy & Physiology| Loop of Henle]] and is linked to the absorption of [[Sodium Homeostasis - Physiology| sodium.]]
