There are a couple of names for the hormone. Both vasopressin and antidiuretic hormone are the same thing. Increased blood levels of ADH (antidiuretic hormone) will cause more water resorption in the kidneys, and relative hemodilution. Please be aware that this answer pertains to water that has already been absorbed in the bloodstream. There is no hormone, per se, that maintains water absorption from the digestive system into the bloodstream. This absorption is driven exclusively by concentration gradient and osmotic pressure. There are no hormones involved.

What hormone is necessary for water to be reabsorbed in the kidney?
Anti-diuretic hormone (or ADH) is released by the pituitary gland to encourage the kidneys to reabsorb water.
What is a hormone secreted from the posterior pituitary that is involved in water balance is?
Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH), also called vasopressin
What hormone increase the amount of water lost in the urine?
The hormone that increases the amount of water lost in the urine is the atrial natriuretic hormone.
What hormone is responsible for faculative water reabsorption?
ADH (antidiuretic hormone)
What Hormone is produced by the acidophil cells of the anterior pituitary?
The pituitary hormones help control some of the following body processes:GrowthBlood pressureSome aspects of pregnancy and childbirth including stimulation of uterine contractions during childbirthBreast milk productionSex organ functions in both men and womenThyroid gland functionThe conversion of food into energy (metabolism)Water and osmolarity regulation in the bodySecretes ADH (antidiuretic hormone) to control the absorption of water into the kidneysTemperature regulationthe hormones that are produced areAdrenocorticotrophic Hormone (ACTH)Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH)Luteinising Hormone (LH)Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH)Prolactin (PRL)Growth Hormone (GH)Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone (MSH)
How does ADH hormone work and when does it get secreted?
Increase the re absorption of water. It is secreted when water intake is low
Anti duretic hormone increases absorption of?
It increase the reabsorption of water. That is from distal convaluted tubules
What does Insufficient anti diuretic hormone cause?
Re absorption of water in kidneys is reduced.It dilutes urine much
What hormone is necessary for water to be reabsorbed in the kidney?
Anti-diuretic hormone (or ADH) is released by the pituitary gland to encourage the kidneys to reabsorb water.
What is a hormone secreted from the posterior pituitary that is involved in water balance is?
Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH), also called vasopressin
What hormones influence urinary absorption?
Mainly it is affected by Antideuratic hormone.It is secreted by posterior pituitary.
What hormone regulates salt and water balance?
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.
What tissues are involved as water moves to the xylem from the time it is absorbed by the roots?
There are two tissues that are involved in water absorption from roots to the xylem. Ground tissue and xylem tissue are the tissues that the water has to pass through.
What two organs are involved in maintaining water and ion balance in a bony fish?
Gills and Kidneys
What is water absorption?
The absorption of electromagnetic radiation by water depends on the state of the water.
What is The importance of diffusion and osmosis?
DIFFUSION :- Diffusion is a major process involve in the transfer of molecules across the cell membrane, these molecules may be solid food stuff, waste products, drugs, hormones, enzymes etc.OSMOSIS:- Osmosis is useful in the transport of water, dissolve salts and mineral ions. It is also helpful in maintaining water level in plasma.Moreover these processes are involved in absorption of food materials and water from intestine.
What are the 6 functions of the kidneys include hormone and vitamin they are involved with?
The kidneys remove waste products from the body by filtering them from the blood.The kidneys' main function is as a homeostatic regulator.The kidneys help to maintain these equilibrium levels, mainly the cardiovascular components. For example, they regulate blood pressure and volume through the absorption of water from the blood.
