NEET PG DENTAL EXAM

Detailed explanation-1: -The hormone vasopressin or antidiuretic hormone(AHD) is responsible for the direct control of water excretion in the kidney.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -ADH causes the insertion of water channels into the membranes of cells lining the collecting ducts, allowing water reabsorption to occur. Without ADH, little water is reabsorbed in the collecting ducts and dilute urine is excreted.

Detailed explanation-4: -The posterior lobe of the pituitary gland stores and releases (secretes) only two hormones: Antidiuretic hormone (ADH, or vasopressin): ADH helps regulate the water balance in your body by controlling the amount of water your kidneys reabsorb while they’re filtering wastes out of your blood.
