Hypothalamus is not a secretion and not stored as such any where. It is the part of brain. it is situated below the thalamus.
ADH is produced by the hypothalamus in the brain. It is then transported to the nearby pituitary gland and is then released for use in the body.
Posterior pituitary gland secreting anti-diuretic hormone.
The pituitary gland, which is influenced by the hypothalmus region. The hypothalmus is responsible for monitoring the water levels in blood. If water levels are too low in the blood, ADH will be produced by the pituitary gland and released.
hypothalamus
Hypothalamus is one of many glands. Hypothalamus is very important due to many reasons.
Antidiuretic hormone is made in the hypothalamus and then stored in the axon terminals (or nerve ends) of the posterior pituitary gland, which lies just below the hypothalamus and is linked to it by a network of nerve fibres.
ADH is produced by the hypothalamus and stored in the posterior pituitary gland.
antidiuretic hormone (ADH)
Hypothalamus produces it, then it's stored in the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland.
ADH is produced by the hypothalamus in the brain. It is then transported to the nearby pituitary gland and is then released for use in the body.
Oxitocin, and ADH
Oxytocin is produced in the hypothalamus but stored in the posterior pituitary gland. It has a calming effect and also stimulates lactation, allowing women to breastfeed their children.
