Detailed explanation-1: -Antidiuretic hormone is made by a part of the brain called the hypothalamus and is secreted into the blood by the pituitary gland.

Detailed explanation-2: -The posterior pituitary stores and releases just two of the many hormones your pituitary gland is responsible for: oxytocin and antidiuretic hormone (ADH, or vasopressin).

Detailed explanation-3: -ADH, which stands for antidiuretic hormone, is a hormone also called vasopressin. This hormone controls the reabsorption of water by the kidneys to maintain our blood pressure. ADH is not released by the anterior pituitary gland but by the posterior lobe of the gland.

Detailed explanation-4: -It’s a hormone made by the hypothalamus in the brain and stored in the posterior pituitary gland. It tells your kidneys how much water to conserve. ADH constantly regulates and balances the amount of water in your blood. Higher water concentration increases the volume and pressure of your blood.
