hormones affecting water balance, blood volume, and urine volume come from the ________ pituitary gland
posterior (neurohypophysis)
hormones affecting growth, metabolic rate, stress response, lactation and reproduction come from the _______ pituitary gland
anterior (adenohypophysis)
osmoreceptors, baroreceptors and the optic chiasm serve as regulatory input to which part of the pituitary?
neurohypophysis

ADH
Hypothalamic Diabetes Insipidus is characterized/caused by what?
Deficiency in ADH release (head trauma, pregnancy, hereditary, idiopathic)
