Question

Where is ADH stored in the body?

Answer 1

ADH (anti-diuretic hormone):

1. The anti-diuretic hormone is the full form of ADH.
2. In the hypothalamus, ADH is stored in neurons.
3. These neurons have osmoreceptors that are extremely sensitive to changes in blood osmolality, responding to variations as small as two mOsm/L.
4. The hypothalamus produces ADH, which is then transported axonally to the posterior pituitary for storage and release.
5. The hypothalamus produces this, which is then stored in the pituitary gland.
6. It regulates the body's water and salt balance.
