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:
Correct answer: B. Antidiuretic hormone
- A. Renin
- B. Antidiuretic hormone
- C. Angiotensin
- D. Growth Factor
Explanation
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

About Chemical Coordination and Hormones
Chemical coordination uses hormones released by endocrine glands and carried in blood to specific target cells. Coverage includes the pituitary, thyroid, pancreas, adrenal glands, ovaries and testes, feedback control, and the contrast between slower, longer-lasting hormonal responses and rapid nervous coordination.
