The hypothalamus secretes Corticotropin Releasing Hormone (CRH) into the anterior lobe of the pituatary gland. The corticotrope cell population of the anterior pituatary secretes Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH). ACTH contacts the zona glomerulosa of the Adrenal cortex and in the presence of Angiotensisn II, secretes Aldosterone.
Aldosterone stimilates the kidneys to conserve sodium and excrete potassium. "Where sodium goes, water follows." So, by osmosis, water follows the conserved sodium and is also conserved.
The Angiotensin II necessary for Aldosterone to be secreted is the final product of the Renin-Angiotensin Cascade. Both ACTH and Angiotensin II are necessary for Aldosterone to be secreted by the Adrenal Gland.
Additionally, the Hypothalamus secretes Anti-diuretic Hormone channeled through the posterior lobe of the pituatary gland which also conserves water. When stretch receptors in the urinary bladder signal that all is full, the Antidiuretic Hormone secretion is suspended and we urinate.
Vassopressin also called Anti-Diuretic Hormone (ADH) is secreted by the hypothalamus and it increases the number of aquaporins in the tubules of the nephron thus increasing water re-uptake by the kidneys. It is secreted when the brain senses that Blood Pressure has fallen and more water needs to be kept to increase BP.
AntiDieuritic Hormone (ADH)
ADH - antidiuretic hormone
The hypothalamus is the part of the brain that regulates water balance and body temperature. The hypothalamus is situated underneath the thalamus.

Water balance is an important factor in maintaining homeostasis. Homeostasis is crucial to organ function which regulates blood water levels.

It regulates the water balance in the body.
Yes, the pituitary gland produces hormones that influence growth, metabolism, reproduction, and water balance. It secretes growth hormone (GH) that promotes growth and development, thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) that regulates metabolism, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) that control reproductive functions, and antidiuretic hormone (ADH) that regulates water balance in the body.
The hypothalamus is the part of the brain that regulates water balance and body temperature. The hypothalamus is situated underneath the thalamus.
The part of the brain that regulates water balance also regulates body temperature. This part of the brain is called the hypothalamus.
Aldosterone is the hormone that is secreted by the adrenal cortex and promotes the retention of salt which then helps the body to retain more water. This is important for maintaining blood pressure in the body which is essential for proper kidney function.
the kidneys do it.the kidneys
Do you mean collection duct? There are several collection ducts. The main function of this part of the kidney is to help keep the ionic balance and water balance. Water is reabsorbed in the first part of this system and the ions in the more distal part. The hormone ADH regulates the amount of water that it reabsorbed. The kidney needs a high blood pressure to function and so it also regulates that.
the anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) and Aldosterone
The kidney excretes waste and regulates the water balance.

ADH, or antidiuretic hormone, is a posterior pituitary hormone (actually produced in the hypothalamus) that helps keep our kidneys from excreting too much water.
