Summary Introduction
To review:
The two hormones closely involved in regulating the fluid, electrolyte balance of the body, as well as their effects on the common target organ.
Introduction:
The hormones are the chemical messengers that are released via the endocrine glands directly into the bloodstream. They travel through the blood and reach the target organ where they act. The hormones are essential for the regulation of various body processes like

The amount of water reabsorbed or lost is hormonally regulated. Both the amount of blood that is filtered (glomerular filtration rate) and the amount of water that is reabsorbed is determined by hormones binding with receptors. In order to understand why the level of any given hormone is elevated or low in the blood, it is necessary to think in terms of homeostasis loops for each hormone, and what the initial disturbance to homeostasis was.
