ADH (Antidiuretic Hormone)The brain and kidneys regulate the amount of water excreted by the body. When the blood volume is low, the concentration of solutes in the blood is high. When the hypothalamus senses this low blood volume and increased serum osmolality it synthesizes ADH, a small peptide molecule. The pituitary gland then releases ADH into the bloodstream and causes the kidneys to retain water by concentrating the urine and reducing urine volume. Water retention boosts blood volume and decreases serum osmolality.

∙ 8y agoThe pituitary gland produces ADH. ADH means antidiuretic hormone. It causes the kidneys to "hold onto" water. The kidney produces aldosterone as a result, causing the body to conserve sodium.

When dehydration occurs what hormone secreted by the pituitary causes the kidneys to conserve water?
ADH
Oxytocin acts primarily on the kidneys and causes them to conserve water?
FALSE.
Is Antidiuretic hormone secreted by the kidneys?
ADH causes the kidneys to hold onto more water.
A hormone secreted from the pituitary that causes kidney to reabsorb water?
Anti-diuretic hormone (or ADH) is released by the pituitary gland to encourage the kidneys to reabsorb water.
Which hormone signals the kidneys to reabsorb water back into the bloodstream?
The antidiruretic hormone signals to the kidneys to reabsorb water back into the bloodstream.
What hormone stimulates water conservation in the kidneys?
ADH (antidiuretic hormone or vasopressin) is a hormone that up-regulates the amount of aquaporins into the luminal membrane in the distal convoluted tubule of the kidneys, this is the eonly part of the tubule that water reaborption is under physiological control. Without this hormone, there are no aquaporins located at this section of the nepheron. Because the fluid is ascending from the loop of Henle (in the medulla), the concentration of ions is decreasing due to the presence of leak channels. As the fluid continues to decrease its concentration of ions due to reabsorption, the water will follow in order to conserve a consistent osmilarity which is regulated by the isotonic fluid in the cortex. This will conserve the amount of water in the body.
What hormone causes the kidneys to reabsorb sodium and water?
Vasopressin and ANP reduce water loss in urine. I don't remember which hormone reduces sodium loss in urine.
Stimulates retention of water by kidneys?
Antidiuretic hormone
Which condition is caused by insufficient production of the antidiuretic hormone or by the inability of the kidneys to respond to adh?
The body can not conserve water and will lose too much to survive.
What Hormone stimulates the kidneys to absorb more water?
The hormone that promotes reabsorption by the kideny is Vasopressin
What happens with less vasopressin production?
Too little vasopressin (or antidiuretic hormone) will lead to a condition called diabetes insipidus. This will mean that a person will be thirsty, and will urinate dilute urine (some times 3 to 4 liters per day). Vasopressin is the hormone that causes water to be reabsorbed in the kidneys. If you don't have enough vasopressin, then the kidneys will not reabsorb enough water, and excessive water will be excreted in the urine. This will cause dehydration and electrolyte imbalance in the body. Synthetic antidiuretic hormone is available (vasopressin and DDAVP).
What causes ADH to release?
the water content in the body......... because there isn't much water the body needs to conserve some (almost everything in the body needs water) and that is what the adh (anti-diuretic hormone) does
