What is the site of regulation of water balance and body temperature?

Changes in body temp are recognised by the hypothalamus in the brain. An increase in body temp leads to vasodilation of blood vessels and thus more heat radiated from the skin. Also stimulates the production of sweat and thus heat loss by evaporation. A decrease in temp results in vasoconstiction of blood vessels and thus heat retention. Water balance is also recognised by the hypothamus but is controlled by the kidneys. ADH is released from the pituritary gland which increases water reabsorption in the kindeys whilst Aldolsterone is released from the adrenal cortex (gland located above kidney) which increases the absorption of Na+ ions which causes water to follow passively by osmosis.


The site at which ADH is most active?

ADH (antidiuretic hormone) is most active in the kidneys, where it acts to increase water reabsorption in the collecting ducts. This helps to concentrate urine and regulate body water balance.
