Reabsorption of water from distal parts of the tubules is facilitated by hormone ................... .
(VASOPRESSIN) The reabsorption of water from the distal parts of the renal tubules,specifically the distal convoluted tubule $(DCT)$ and the collecting duct,is facilitated by the hormone vasopressin,also known as Antidiuretic Hormone $(ADH)$.
This hormone increases the permeability of the collecting ducts to water,allowing for the reabsorption of water back into the blood,thereby concentrating the urine.
