happen to their antidiuretic hormone (ADH) levels?, The adrenal glands will take over the secretion of ADH to compensate for the hypothalamus., The glomerulus will physically expand to filter out the excess water directly into the urine., The pituitary gland will completely stop producing all hormones to protect the kidneys., The pituitary gland will continue to secrete high levels of ADH because the osmoreceptors remain stimulated., When an individual engages in vigorous physical activity and loses significant water through sweat, what is the primary homeostatic trigger in the brain?, The
