6. Question
which of the following hormones are produced by pituitary glands?
Correct
The posterior pituitary gland produces the antidiuretic hormone (ADH) also called arginine vasopressin (AVP) and oxytocin. ADH acts on the renal tubules to induce water retention, leading to the concentration of the urine. Oxytocin is responsible for milk letdown during infant suckling.
