Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is released in response to increased osmolality of blood or decreased blood volume or pressure, not in response to increased activity of baroreceptors. ADH increases blood pressure by constricting arterioles, prompts kidneys to resorb more water and thus increases blood volume. It is secreted by the posterior pituitary.
