A hormone released from the posterior pituitary lobe acts to actively transport water from filtrate collecting tubules back to the kidney. It is shown as:
- A
Renin
- B
Antidiuretic hormone
- C
Angiotensin
- D
Growth Factor
The antidiuretic hormone, also known as vasopressin, is produced in the hypothalamus and stored in the posterior pituitary gland. It can cause the kidney to release less water, decreasing the amount of urine produced. A deficiency of ADH can cause diabetes insipidus
Renin is not a hormone but an enzyme; it is secreted from the cells of kidney and its main function is regulating blood pressure
Antidiuretic hormone, also known as vasopressin, is produced in the hypothalamus and stored in the posterior pituitary gland. It can cause the kidney to release less water, decreasing the amount of urine produced. A deficiency of ADH can cause diabetes insipidus
The primary source of angiotensin is the liver. angiotensin works in regulating blood pressure
rowth factors work by stimulating growth of specific tissues; they play role in promoting cellular division and differentiation.
A suitable option here which is secreted from posterior pituitary and works in regulation of urine will be option B( Antidiuretic hormone)
