ESSAY: ANTIDIURETIC HORMONE Demonstrate your knowledge of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) by discussing the function of this hormone in your body.  Your discussion of ADH should specifically address, but does not need to be limited to: -the role of ADH in maintaining homeostasis (making reference to the specific factor for which ADH maintains homeostasis). -an example of conditions in your body that would cause this factor to not be in homeostasis, and therefore would lead to increased secretion of ADH. -the endocrine gland from which ADH is secreted. -the target of ADH (be as specific as possible with regard to the target). -the effect of ADH on this target’s activity, and how this effect is achieved. -the overall effect of ADH on urine and how this relates to maintaining homeostasis for the relevant factor.
