Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The hormone released by the posterior pituitary to prevent excessive water loss in the urine is ____
A
antidiuretic hormone (ADH)
B
insulin
C
cortisol
D
aldosterone
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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. A low level results in greater urine production.

Detailed explanation-2: -This helps control blood pressure and the amount of urine that is made. 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-3: -It tells your kidneys how much water to conserve. ADH constantly regulates and balances the amount of water in your blood. Higher water concentration increases the volume and pressure of your blood. Osmotic sensors and baroreceptors work with ADH to maintain water metabolism.
