Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH) Even synthesized in the hypothalamus, the hormone is transported to the neurohypophysis (posterior pituitary gland) through nerve cells which are then released into the bloodstream through neurohypophysial capillaries by the process of exocytosis involving calcium. ADH is calle...
The hypothalamus controls the functioning of thyroid hormone through thyrotropin-releasing hormone. The thyrotropin-releasing hormone acts on the anterior pituitary gland and stimulates the secretion of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) which stimulates the thyroid gland to increase the production of principa...
The word "specific" also indicates that the action of each hormone is exerted only on its particular functional systems or organs, the "effector organs." A further characteristic is that the endocrine glands and cell groups are occupied exclusively with the formation and secretion of their ...

The supraoptic region lies internal to the region of the optic chiasm and contains four nuclei: the supraoptic, paraventricular, suprachiasmatic, and anterior hypothalamic nuclei. The supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei contain neurons that synthesize oxytocin and antidiuretic hormone (ADH, vasopressin) wh...
Collecting ducts are the last chance site for water and electrolyte reabsorption from the filtrate further concentrating the urine, particularly under the influence of antidiuretic hormone (ADH). No more reabsorption takes place past the medullary collecting ducts. Juxtaglomerular apparatus Juxta...

Vasopressin, or antidiuretic hormone (ADH): causes water reabsorption in the kidneys, maintains blood pressure Oxytocin: “the cuddle/love hormone,” regulates social interaction and sexual reproduction Growth hormone (GH): in children, acts on several parts of the body to promote growth; in adults...
