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.
