B) ADH is also known as vasopressin because it can cause vasoconstriction at high levels.
D) After birth, oxytocin stimulates milk letdown from the mammary glands.
F) The stimulus for the secretion of ADH is any decrease in body water, as ADH is responsible for regulating water balance in the body. 
A, C, and E are false statements. ADH and oxytocin are stored in and released from the posterior pituitary, not the anterior pituitary. Oxytocin stimulates contractions of the uterus during labor, not inhibits them. ADH causes the kidneys to reabsorb more water, not increase urinary output.
