ADH means anti-diuretic hormone which controls our blood concentration

When the blood becomes thick with less water,this change is detected by the hypothalamus in the brain and regulated by the pituitary gland which releases the ADH hormone.then this hormone travels in blood to its target organ kidney and acts on the second coiled tube &collecting duct in the kidney to increase the permeability to water.When the blood concentration increases more ADH is secreted &therefore more water is reabsorbed from urine ;bringing the blood concentration back to normal

When the blood becomes less concentrated with more water,the hypothalamus detects it and the pituitary gland regulates it by releasing less ADH,therefore less water is reabsorbed from urine;bringing the blood concentration back to normal.

this is all what i know hope this would help your school project;good luck ;))))))))))))))))))
