PY - 2017 T2 - Ganong's Medical Physiology Examination & Board Review AB - OBJECTIVESAfter reading this chapter, you should be able to:Describe how the tonicity (osmolality) of the extracellular fluid is maintained by alterations in water intake and vasopressin secretion.Discuss the effects of vasopressin, the receptors on which it acts, and how its secretion is regulated.Describe how the volume of the extracellular fluid is maintained by alterations in renin and aldosterone secretion.Outline the cascade of reactions that lead to the formation of angiotensin II and its metabolites in the circulation.List the functions of angiotensin II and the receptors on which it acts to carry out these functions.Describe the structure and functions of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), and C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) and the receptors on which they act.Describe the site and mechanism of action of erythropoietin, and the feedback regulation of its secretion.
