Which hormone controls osmoregulation?
A
ADHD
B
AHD
C
ADH
D
AHDD
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -It is also known as vasopressin. It is a hormone secreted by the hypothalamus in the brain and is stored in the posterior pituitary gland . ADH regulates and balances the amount of water in the blood.

Detailed explanation-2: -Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) has the primary role in osmoregulation by controlling the amount of urine formation. Body maintain water and electrolytes concentration at a relatively constant level by the mechanism of osmoregulation. Hormone are important signaling molecules that control the regulatory process.

Detailed explanation-3: -As previously discussed, antidiuretic hormone or ADH (also called vasopressin), as the name suggests, helps the body conserve water when body fluid volume, especially that of blood, is low.

Detailed explanation-4: -The secretion of ADH is triggered by a rise in osmolality. The water permeability of proximal and collecting tubules is increased by ADH. It enables increased water absorption and concentrated urine excretion.
