As ADH (which is also known as vasopressin) causes direct water reabsorption from the kidney tubules, salts and wastes are concentrated in what will eventually be excreted as urine. The hypothalamus controls the mechanisms of ADH secretion, either by regulating blood volume or the concentration of water in the blood.

vasopressin and oxytocin are produced in the hypothalamus, thus they are hypothalamsu hormone. however, both are stored in the posterior pituitary and release when needed by the body stimulation.
