the anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) and Aldosterone
The adrenal glands are above each kidney. They are divided into two parts the cortex and the medulla. The cortex is responsible for secreting steroid hormones of which there are three types: Corticosteroids i.e.cortisol, which control glucose levels in the body Mineralocorticoids i.e. aldosterone, which regulate the mineral balance Sex hormones, i.e. androgens, (testosterone and oestrogen) which are responsible for sexual charaterisctics The medulla or inner section secretes two hormones, adrenalin and nor-adrenaline which create conditions in the body for the 'flight', 'fight' & 'fright' mechanism.
Two components of the endocrine system are hormones (chemical messengers that regulate various bodily functions) and glands (organs that secrete hormones into the bloodstream).
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.
There are two adrenal glands, one on top of each kidney, and they both have regions that release different hormones. The adrenal cortex, which is the bigger region, releases three different hormones: mineralocorticoids (affect mineral homeostasis), glucocorticoids (affect glucose homeostasis), and androgens (male sex hormones. The other region, the adrenal medulla, produces epinephrine and norepinephrine, which set the fight or flight response into motion and help the body resist stress.
Two hormones secreted by the ovary are estrogen and progesterone. Estrogen is responsible for the development of female reproductive organs and secondary sexual characteristics, while progesterone helps regulate the menstrual cycle and prepare the uterus for pregnancy.

There are two major hormones that regulate water balance in all mammals, including pigs: ADH (anti-diuretic hormone) and the mineralocorticoids. However, there is not a single hormone that is directly responsible for the sensation of 'thirst'.
The pars nervosa, also known as the neural lobe or posterior pituitary, releases two hormones: oxytocin and antidiuretic hormone (ADH), also known as vasopressin. Oxytocin is involved in childbirth and breastfeeding, as well as social bonding and emotional attachment. ADH helps regulate water balance in the body by decreasing urine output and promoting water reabsorption in the kidneys.

Kidneys excrete nitrogenous waste (urine) and also regulate the water balance in vertebrates. Rat is a vertebrate, too.

The pituitary gland is divided into two distinct functional units: the anterior pituitary (adenohypophysis) and the posterior pituitary (neurohypophysis). The anterior pituitary produces and secretes hormones such as growth hormone, prolactin, and adrenocorticotropic hormone, while the posterior pituitary stores and releases hormones like oxytocin and vasopressin, which are produced in the hypothalamus. This division allows the gland to regulate various physiological processes, including growth, metabolism, and water balance.
There are many functions of the kidneys that maintain homeostasis. In addition to filtering wastes, the kidneys use hormones to regulate blood pressure and altering the sodium and electrolyte balances to maintain proper fluid balances within the body. The kidneys help to maintain the internal balance in the body by excreting substances that change that balance. The kidneys also help to maintain water balance.
