Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

ADH, or antidiuretic hormone, is secreted by the posterior pituitary gland and stimulates the collecting duct in the kidneys to reabsorb water, thereby decreasing urine output and increasing blood volume and blood pressure. It is not a mineralocorticoid, nor does it increase the glomerular filtration rate (GFR).
