What organ can ADH help prevent water retention through interaction with target cells?
ADH acts on the kidneys, but not to prevent water retention. ADH is a hormone that is released when the body is low on water to help the body retain water. It does this by helping to concentrate the urine and reducing urine volume. For more information, visit the Related Link.

Which organ reabsorbs water into the body?
the large intestine
Which organs will be instructed to take corrective measures if the blood flowing through it has too much water?
The kidneys are the major organ of homeostasis. They control the water volume in blood by measuring the salt content of the filtrate as it produces urine. If the concentration is too low it tells the kidneys to release renin, which releases angiotensin II, which then releases aldosterone. This then tells the kidneys to retain more salt which increases the water retention in the body. The negative feedback chemical to this is atrial natriuretic hormone release by the heart. There is no organ that measures and corrects the water volume in the body. Water volume is controlled by salt concentration.
Is the brain the biggest organ in the body?
No, it isn't.
How will you measure volume of a body lighter than water?
In order to measure volume, one normally sees how much water it displaces. If the body floats, the water displaced will be equal to the weight of the body, not the volume. It will be necessary to force the body down so that it is totally submerged. If there is an anchor and chain below the surface, the water displaced when the body is attached and submerged will have the same volume as the body.
What organ collects water and filters body fluids?
the kidney
