Best Answer: Well - the kidney is the organ that regulates the amount of water *leaving* your body. It is controlled by hormones from other parts of your body: the pituitary gland below the brain, the adrenal glands above the kidneys, the liver. Intake of water is done by drinking, and most of the water is absorbed in your large intestine. The state of being thirsty is hormonally controlled from the hypothalamus.
Vasopressin regulates the body's retention of water by acting to increase water reabsorption in the kidney's collecting ducts, the tubules which receive the very dilute urine produced by the functional unit of the kidney, the nephrons.asopressin regulates the body's retention of water by acting to increase water reabsorption in the kidney's collecting ducts, the tubules which receive the very dilute urine produced by the functional unit of the kidney, the nephrons.
