Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) is released by which gland of the endocrine system
A
Thyroid
B
Pituitary
C
Ovaries
D
Adrenal
Explanation: 

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: -Hyperosmolar states most strongly trigger its release. ADH is stored in neurons within the hypothalamus. These neurons express osmoreceptors that are exquisitely responsive to blood osmolarity and respond to changes as little as two mOsm/L. [2] Therefore, slight elevations in osmolarity result in the secretion of ADH.

Detailed explanation-3: -Your adrenal glands are controlled in part by your hypothalamus and pituitary gland. The hypothalamus, a small area of your brain involved in hormonal regulation, produces corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) and antidiuretic hormone (ADH, or vasopressin).
