Solution:

Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is secreted by hypothalamus of the brain and released into the blood from the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland. It increases the reabsoiption of water in the distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct. ADH is also called vasopressin. When ADH is released in smaller amounts, diuresis increases, urine becomes diluted, ie, called diabetes insipidus.
