Chapter 19, Problem 4CT
Summary Introduction
To review:
The mechanism used by the kidney and the heart hormones regulate the blood pressure and the volume of the blood.
Introduction:
Kidneys secrete two important hormones, renin, and erythropoietin to control the blood pressure and volume. The primary function of the heart is to pump blood throughout the body. However, the heart has some specialized cells that secrete a hormone atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), which is necessary for controlling the blood pressure and volume.
