Where does ADH originate?

ADH is produced by the hypothalamus and stored in the posterior pituitary gland.


When the concentration of ADH increases?

less urine is produced


When ADH is produced what happens?

If there is too little water in the blood, the hypothalamus will detect this and more ADH (Anti-Diuretic Hormone) will be produced. The increase in ADH will cause an increase in the permeability of the collecting duct in the kidney and so more water is reabsorbed into the blood. :)


Produces oxytocin and ADH that are released within the posterior pituitary gland?

ADH and Oxytocin is produced by hypothalamus.It is secreted by inferior pitutory.


What are the two hormones that are produced in the hypothalamus but stored in the pituitary?

The two hormones are oxytocin and vasopressin (antidiuretic hormone). They are produced in the hypothalamus and then transported and stored in the posterior pituitary gland until they are released into the bloodstream.


ADH is produced by cells within the?

ADH (antidiuretic hormone), also known as vasopressin, is produced by cells within the hypothalamus and released by the pituitary gland in response to changes in blood osmolality.


Oxytocin and ADH are produced by the?

The posterior pituitary gland, a.k.a, neurohypophysis. These are the only 2 hormones that are secreted from here.


Does Both ADH and aldosterone tend to reduce the amount of urine produced?

yes


Is ADH inhibited by alcohol or increases urine production or promotes dehydration or is produced in the adenohypophysis?

Alcohol inhibits antidiuretic hormone (ADH) secretion, leading to increased urine production and promoting dehydration. ADH is produced in the hypothalamus and stored in the posterior pituitary gland, not the adenohypophysis (anterior pituitary gland).


Adh is produced where?

Adh (antidiuretic hormone), also known as vasopressin, is produced in the hypothalamus of the brain and released from the posterior pituitary gland. It plays a crucial role in regulating water balance in the body by controlling water reabsorption in the kidneys.


How are hormones release by the posterior pituitary?

Antidiuretic hormone (ADH, vasopressin) and Oxytocin


What hormones increases blood pressure by reducing urine output?

ADH (Antidiuretic hormone). ADH is secreted in the pituitary gland and it works by increasing the amount of water reabsorbed in the kidney and hence, less urine is produced.
