Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Anti-diuretic hormone helps to control blood pressure by acting on the kidneys and the blood vessels. Its most important role is to conserve the fluid volume of your body by reducing the amount of water passed out in the urine.
Detailed explanation-2: -Increased blood osmolarity, sensed by osmoreceptors within the hypothalamus, activates release of vasopressin (also called antidiuretic hormone [ADH]) from the posterior pituitary.
Detailed explanation-3: -The actions of aldosterone and ADH serve to raise blood sodium and consequently blood pressure. Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), on the other hand, serves to lower blood pressure.
