Question

Circulating through the body, antidiuretic hormone arrives at the ____________ of the kidney.

Answer 1

The antidiuretic hormone, otherwise called vasopressin is made in the region of the brain called hypothalamus. The cells of the hypothalamus excrete this hormone through the connection they have with the pituitary gland. From this gland, the hormone is released into the bloodstream and eventually comes down to kidneys, affecting the kidney tubules, making them conserve water by transporting them back to the bloodstream.
