Test your knowledge on hormones released from the posterior pituitary, including ADH and oxytocin. Learn about their target and effects, as well as the regulation of their release. Explore how ADH affects water reabsorption in the kidneys and how it is influenced by salt concentration. Understand the impact of ADH presence or absence on urine color.
