Question
Chapter 15, Problem 13TY
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The antidiuretic hormone (ADH), also known as vasopressin is released from the posterior pituitary gland in the brain. It is responsible for regulating water in the body. Its concentration fluctuates according to the concentration of water in the body cells.
