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: -The increased plasma osmolarity is sensed by osmoreceptors in the hypothalamus, which will stimulate the posterior pituitary gland to release ADH. ADH will then act on the nephrons of the kidneys to cause a decrease in plasma osmolarity and an increase in urine osmolarity.

Detailed explanation-3: -Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is a chemical produced in the brain that causes the kidneys to release less water, decreasing the amount of urine produced. A high ADH level causes the body to produce less urine.

Detailed explanation-4: -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).
