The pituitary gland controls blood water concentration.
This gland produces the hormone ADH.
ADH is carried by the blood to the kidneys.
ADH increases the permeability of the kidney tubules allowing water to be reabsorbed from the tubules into the blood.
If blood water concentration falls, more water reabsorption is needed so that less water is lost as urine. ADH production is increased.
If blood water concentration rises, less water reabsorption is needed so that more water is lost as urine. ADH production is decreased.
which is the stimulus, effector, detector, set point, integrator and output?

Stimulus: blood water concentration changes
Effector: Kidney to readjust reabsorbtion
Detector: sensors in blood vessels(?) checking water levels
Integrator: Brain to determine when neurons fire in pituitary to produce ADH
Output: change in water concentration after effector kicks in

Stimulus: Water flowing to the hypothalamus
Effector: Kidney
Detector: Hypothalamus
Set point: Pituitary gland
Integrator: ADH
Output: Water reabsoprtion.
