Does ADH favor the formation of dilute urine or of concentrated urine?

5. What is the principal determinant for the release of ADH from the posterior pituitary gland? Does ADH favor the
formation of dilute or concentrated urine? Explain why.
Your answer:
Decreased blood pressure and the need to reabsorb sodium


6. Which hormone (aldosterone or ADH) has the greater effect on urine volume? Why?
Your answer:
ADH. Antidiuretic Hormone (or ADH) is responsible for secreting (controlling) the water content to urea and salts in the
urine.
Think of ADH as a "save water" signal to your kidneys. It is therefore produced in times of water shortage, but not when
there is plenty of water in the blood.
So, when there is a shortage of water the pituitary gland increases the production of ADH, and when there is a large
concentration of water, ADH production is lowered.

Found that somewhere on here. If it is wrong and you know the answer, then answer it instead of being mean.
