MICROANATOMY

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. Certain types of tumors may release high amounts of antidiuretic hormone, which can cause low levels of sodium in the blood and the body to retain water.

Detailed explanation-2: -Your hypothalamus, an area at the base of your brain, produces ADH. Sensors in your body detect when your blood volume changes and needs more ADH. These sensors talk to your brain and the pituitary gland releases ADH into your bloodstream.

Detailed explanation-3: -ADH, also called vasopressin, is synthesized by the neurons in the hypothalamus and stored in the posterior pituitary until released upon neural stimulation.

Detailed explanation-4: -ADH is a 9 amino acid peptide synthesized in cells in the supraoptic nucleus and paraventricular nucleus in the hypothalamus. It travels down the axons of these cells and is secreted in the posterior pituitary in response to hypovolemia and to plasma hyperosmolarity.
