AP BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is a substance produced in an area of the brain called the hypothalamus and stored in the posterior pituitary gland . The posterior pituitary gland is also known as the neurohypophysis. This lobe releases the hormone ADH secreted by the hypothalamus.

Detailed explanation-2: -ADH is a substance produced naturally in an area of the brain called the hypothalamus. It is then released by the pituitary gland at the base of the brain.

Detailed explanation-3: -The main role of the posterior pituitary is to store and releases two hormones: oxytocin and antidiuretic hormone (ADH, or vasopressin). Both of the lobes of your pituitary gland are connected to your hypothalamus (a part of your brain) through a stalk that contains blood vessels and nerve cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -The hormones produced in the hypothalamus are corticotrophin-releasing hormone, dopamine, growth hormone-releasing hormone, somatostatin, gonadotrophin-releasing hormone and thyrotrophin-releasing hormone.

Detailed explanation-5: -Your hypothalamus, which is about the size of an almond, is located below the thalamus and above your pituitary gland. It sits directly above the brainstem at the base of your brain.
