Question

What is the target tissue of antidiuretic hormone?

Answer 1

Antidiuretic hormone:

1. Arginine vasopressin is another name for antidiuretic hormone (ADH).
2. The hypothalamus produces this hormone, which is then stored in the posterior pituitary gland.
3. ADH is in charge of regulating and balancing the amount of water in the blood.
4. As the concentration of water in the blood rises, so does the volume and pressure of the blood.
5. To keep water metabolism in check, osmotic sensors and baroreceptors work along with ADH.
6. The antidiuretic hormone regulates blood pressure by acting on the kidneys and blood arteries.
7. The release of antidiuretic hormone from the pituitary gland into the bloodstream is influenced by a number of factors.
8. Dehydration or a haemorrhage produce a drop in blood volume or low blood pressure, which is detected by sensors (receptors) in the heart and big blood vessels.
9. Antidiuretic hormone is released as a result of this.
