Question
The hormone that affects urination is ______.
Options
Adrenaline
Vasopressin
Oestrogen
Thyroxine
Solution
The hormone that affects urination is vasopressin.
Explanation:
Secreted by the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland, vasopressin, sometimes known as antiduretic hormone (ADH), regulates the osmotic pressure of bodily fluids. It stimulates water reabsorption in the nephrons and returns it into the body's blood flow. Less quantity and concentrated urine are thus produced in the kidneys.
