Question
what are the two main targets of antidiuretic hormone (adh)?
multiple choice
the hypothalamus and posterior pituitary
the heart and the kidneys
the kidneys and blood vessels
the kidneys and the urinary bladder
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) acts on the kidneys to increase water reabsorption, reducing urine volume. It also acts on blood vessels, causing vasoconstriction. The hypothalamus produces ADH, and the posterior pituitary releases it, so they are not targets. The heart and urinary bladder are not main targets of ADH.
