It produces an antidiuretic hormone or ADH. ADH is delivered by the hypothalamus in the mind and put away in the back pituitary organ at the base of the cerebrum. ADH is typically discharged by the pituitary because of sensors that recognize an expansion in blood osmolality or abatement in blood volume.
