Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Vasopressin, also known as antidiuretic hormone (ADH), is produced in the hypothalamus and released from the posterior pituitary gland. Its primary functions are to increase kidney reabsorption of water, thereby reducing urine volume and increasing blood volume, and to act as a potent arteriolar vasoconstrictor, increasing blood pressure. It does not stimulate uterine smooth muscle contraction.
