Anti-Diurtetic Hormone is a hormone used by your kidneys and determines how much water your body retains or excretes. It is made in the hypothalamus (homeostasis control center of sorts) and this hormone directly effects blood pressure and body water composition

What two hormones regulate water balance?

Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) and aldosterone are the two hormones that regulate water balance in the body. ADH helps the kidneys retain water by increasing water reabsorption, while aldosterone regulates water and salt balance by promoting sodium reabsorption and potassium excretion in the kidneys.


What The posterior pituitary stores and releases?

The posterior pituitary stores and releases two hormones: oxytocin and antidiuretic hormone (ADH). Oxytocin plays a role in uterine contractions during childbirth and milk ejection during breastfeeding. ADH helps regulate water balance in the body by influencing water reabsorption in the kidneys.


What hormone is released from the posterior pituitary gland?

The posterior pituitary gland does not actually produce any hormones, instead they are produced by the hypothalamus, then stored in the posterior pituitary which releases them when they are needed. The two hormones stored and released by the posterior pituitary are Oxytocin and Antidiuretic Hormone or vasopressin. The function of Oxytocin is to produce uterine contractions before and after child birth and also to eject milk during breast feeding. Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH) also known as vasopressin, controls the production of urine. If we are dehydrated, then ADH is released and inhibits the production of urine, leaving more fluid available to circulate around the body.


What are someTropic hormone?

Some examples of tropic hormones include follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). These hormones regulate the function of other endocrine glands in the body by stimulating them to produce and release their own hormones.


What is a neurohormone adh acth t3 t4 or gh?

These are all types of neurohormones or hormones that play specific roles in the body: ADH (antidiuretic hormone) regulates water retention in the kidneys. ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone) stimulates the adrenal glands to produce cortisol. T3 and T4 are thyroid hormones that regulate metabolism and growth. GH (growth hormone) promotes growth, cell regeneration, and metabolism.

Which part of the nephron is under the control of the hormones ADH and aldosterone?
