Well I know that ADH (antidiuretic hormone) or vasopressin is controling the water level in the human body.
Is it that what u are looking for or something else.
If it is the medical term u are looking for, try to search in a medical dictionary or medical sites in the i-net.

Well I learned it when I became a paramedic. I think translating it for you, will take too much time, so I try to find some links for ya.
What languages do you speak/read?


It has to do with your blood pressure, the ADH is controlling it. If it is to high u have to make a headcall, if it is too low you can't go pee.
This is it in very simple term. Like I said I'm looking it up for ya.

GCSE biology comes rushing back...

Something like

Not enough water in blood > detected by hypothalamus > release ADH > less water absorbed by kidneys (or liver i forgot!) > water levels increase.

Dont quote me on that, but i think thats the generally gist of it.

Vasopressin is exactly the same as ADH just different names, vasopressin is also the drug/medicine. Does exactly the same as the ADH.

Vasopressin can be given throughout a resucitation, to get a vasoconstriction in the blood vessels in order to rise the blood pressure. It further rise the heart rate and strength and open the bronchus a little more for a better supply of oxygen.

It's the kidneys.
Yep that's it basically. It's doing a little more, but that's it in simple terms.
