By the time you feel thirsty, you are already somewhat dehydrated. What is happening to the ADH in the pituitary gland at that point? How does that response contribute to regulating the water content of the body?
What will be an ideal response?
Dehydration stimulates the release of ADH from the pituitary gland because ADH increases the uptake of water in the collecting tubule, thereby counteracting dehydration.
