Quizplus · Accepted Answer

ADH is produced by the hypothalamus in response to increased blood osmolality, which occurs when there is too little water in the body relative to the amount of solutes. This causes the hypothalamus to signal the pituitary gland to release ADH, which helps the kidneys conserve water by reabsorbing it into the bloodstream.
