Final answer:
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH), also known as vasopressin, is produced by the hypothalamus and released by the posterior pituitary, and it aids in water reabsorption by the kidneys.
Step-by-step explanation:
The hormone also known as Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH) is also called vasopressin. This hormone is produced by the hypothalamus and released by the posterior pituitary gland. Its primary function is to increase water reabsorption by the kidneys, therefore, it helps regulate the balance of bodily fluids. Among the options provided, the term 'antidiuretic hormone (ADH)' would be technically incorrect as neither antivenom, antineoplastic, antidiabetic, nor antiserum are synonymous names for ADH, even though the term 'antidiabetic' could loosely relate to hormone function, it is not specifically ADH. As a reminder, other hormones produced by the anterior pituitary include Growth Hormone (GH), Thyrotropic or Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH), Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH), and others.
