ADH increases arteriole constriction and tubular permeability to water

Vasopressin, also referred to as antidiuretic hormone (ADH), is a hormone secreted by the posterior pituitary gland. Arteriole constriction and tubular permeability to water are both increased by ADH. Calcitonin and parathyroid hormone levels in the blood regulate calcium equilibrium (PTH). the hormone that aids in blood vessel constriction and aids the kidneys in regulating the body's salt and water balance. This aids in regulating both blood pressure and urine production.

Sensors (baroreceptors) in the heart and big blood vessels can identify a drop in blood volume or low blood pressure that happens after dehydration or a hemorrhage. These encourage the secretion of anti-diuretic hormones.
