To avoid dehydration or overhydration, proper water balance must be maintained in the body. One way that the water concentration of the body is monitored is by osmoreceptors in the hypothalamus which detect the concentrations of ions in the extracellular fluid. When a change in the concentration of ions in the blood is detected, such as during exercise, the body must respond. To do so, the hypothalamus produces antidiuretic hormone (ADH), also known as vasopressin. ADH is then transported to and released from the pituitary gland, where it travels to several areas of the body including the kidneys. ADH functions to stimulate the insertion of ‘water channels’ called aquaporins into the membranes of the kidney tubules, allowing for greater water reabsorption.If a person were to experience over hydration, what would happen to the levels of ADH secreted from the pituitary gland and the permeability of water in the kidney tubule?

ADH (antidiuretic hormone) is secreted by which nuclei of the hypothalamus?
