What hormone helps maintain water and salt balance in the body?
Vasopressin, also known as antidiuretic hormone or ADH, maintains the body's water balance by promoting the kidneys to reabsorb water. ADH is secreted by the posterior pituitary gland. It works by making collecting tubules of nephrons in the kidneys permeable to water. This allows water to be reabsorbed into the body from the urine. It is also known as water retaining hormone.Aldosterone, released by the adrenal cortex, also aids in the reabsorption of water by increasing the tubular reabsorption rate. However, it is also responsible for stimulating the tubules to reabsorb salts.Atrial natriuretic hormone (ANH) is secreted from the atrial wall of the heart. It has the opposite effect of aldosterone. It stimulates the kidney tubules to secrete more sodium and thus lose more water.The secretions of ADH, aldosterone, and ANH in different amounts and when needed, regulate the the body's water balance ensuring homeostasis.d. antiduretic Hormone
How does corticotropin-releasing hormone help the body deal with stressors?
CRH alerts the body for fight or flight via stimulation of the pituitary gland to secrete ACTH which further stimulates the adrenal glands to secrete glucocorticoids an catecholamines. CRH also aids in regulating moods and behaviors in the brain ( can make one defenive and have an anti Valium effect)

What hormone aids in the fight or flight response?
Adrenaline
What hormone aids in fight or flight response?

What is the relationship between antidiuretic hormone and the colour of urine?
