Informative Speech On Antidiuretic Hormone

The hormone is like an arrow shot from a bow, the shot is aimed at a target and when it hits the target, a score is achieved. Today, I will be talking to you about a very important hormone called ADH shorten for Antidiuretic hormone and also known as vasopressin. Antidiuretic hormone is made in an area at the base of the brain known as the hypothalamus, the hormone is transported to the posterior pituitary glands where the hormone is released into the bloodstream. They carried around the body in your blood to their target organ, in this case, the Kidney to control what is been changed in your body. The main role of ADH hormone is to control how your body release and conserve water to bring the water level back to normal in case of any changes. I will be discussing 2 scenarios where there is not enough water or too much water. it is really important to keep the total body water content constant so the cells in the body can function properly without any cell damage.

Let’s look at how ADH hormone controls the water level in the blood, in a situation where you have not drunk …show more content…
The hypothalamus will again detect the high volume of water in the blood and send a message to the pituitary gland to lower the releases of ADH hormone or even stop the release, and without much ADH hormone in the kidney, it will not save or reabsorb much water from the urine back to blood as there is already too much water in the blood so instead of absorbing water, an excretion of large volume of diluted urine will occur to bring the water level back to normal. If this excess water is not removed from the body as urine, the cells will expand and eventually burst, think of this scenario as a balloon, if you blow too much air into to the balloon, it will expand and eventually pop. Just like our cells in the
