Abstract
The release, into the circulation of the ADH (anti-diuretic hormone) made in the pars nervosa appears to be under the control of the central nervous system. The impulses travel to the pars nervosa along the hypothala-mic-hypophyseal tracts, and somewhere on this route depend on acetylcholine for their transmission. The primary stimulus which initiates this reflex is not known with certainty. The receptors for this stimulus are central and not peripheral.Keywords
