Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is secreted by the neurohypophysis (posterior pituitary gland) and acts on the kidneys to increase their reabsorption of water. This results in the production of concentrated urine. Aldosterone, renin, and angiotensin I are involved in the regulation of electrolyte balance and blood pressure, but they do not directly stimulate the formation of concentrated urine.
