Question

antidiuretic hormone (adh) is released by the

multiple choice

kidney

cerebellum

hypothalamus

posterior pituitary

anterior pituitary

Explanation:

Antidiuretic hormone (ADH), also known as vasopressin, is synthesized in the hypothalamus. However, it is released (secreted) into the bloodstream by the posterior pituitary gland. The kidney is involved in the action of ADH (it acts on the kidneys to regulate water reabsorption), but it does not release ADH. The cerebellum is involved in motor control, balance, etc., and has no role in ADH release. The anterior pituitary releases other hormones like growth hormone, thyroid - stimulating hormone, etc., but not ADH.

Answer:

posterior pituitary
