Solution

ADH and oxytocin:

  1. ADH and oxytocin are hormones that are produced by the paraventricular nuclei of the hypothalamus.
  2. ADH also known as vasopressin induces kidneys to release less water so that the amount of urine released from the body is also less.
  3. Oxytocin facilitates childbirth by aiding in uterine contractions.

Storage:

ADH and Oxytocin are stored in the posterior lobe of the pituitary.
