pituitary lobe stores and releases anti/di/uret/ic hormone (ADH) and oxy/tocin.
The posterior pituitary lobe stores and releases anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) and oxytocin. ADH helps regulate water balance in the body by promoting water reabsorption by the kidneys. Oxytocin plays a role in childbirth, breastfeeding, and social bonding.
The posterior pituitary lobe stores and releases two hormones: anti/di/uretic hormone (ADH) and oxy/tocin.
• The anti/di/uretic hormone (ADH), also known as vasopressin, is responsible for regulating water balance in the body. It acts on the kidneys to decrease urine production and increase water reabsorption, which helps retain water and prevent dehydration.
• Oxy/tocin, often referred to as the "love hormone," is involved in various physiological processes, including labor induction, milk ejection during breastfeeding, and bonding between individuals. It plays a crucial role in childbirth and promoting social interactions.
