Control of Vasopressin Release

  • Chapter
Book cover Renal Physiology

Part of the book series: People and Ideas ((PEOPL))

Abstract

Mechanisms that enable organisms to make the most economical use of available water and to replace it efficiently are of the utmost importance for the successful colonization of dry land. Water is conserved according to need through the operation of a homeostatic mechanism of great sensitivity and precision, of which a crucial component is the release of vasopressin from the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland. The development of ideas on this aspect of posterior pituitary function is described in this chapter together with a brief summary of some of the recent developments in our understanding of the physiology of vasopressin.
