Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

ADH is released in response to changes in blood osmotic pressure, which is monitored by osmoreceptors in the hypothalamus. When blood osmotic pressure increases, ADH release increases to decrease water loss through urine and thus increase water retention in the body. When blood osmotic pressure decreases, ADH release decreases to increase water loss through urine and thus decrease water retention in the body. Blood calcium levels, blood oxygen levels, and blood glucose levels are not directly involved in ADH release.
