[edit]- This seriously needs and update, It was in my exam today and I'd like to know how they work.
Will research and add it myself in the next few hours if I can be bothered.
I was skimming through and this page looked bare, so I added what I could from memory. I don't know how to reference, and can't be bothered referencing anyway, but I learned what I've added (the mechanism bit) from The Textbook of Medical Physiology, 11e by Guyton and Hall. Also, I'm not sure about the where the article says the osmoreceptors are in the hypothalamus - I'm pretty sure they are outside but near it. But, that may be different for other animals - my knowledge is strictly medical.
- Your knowledge seems not to be that medical, either. You might want to refer to other related Wikipedia articles when posting what you've learned. Renin is not converted into angiotensin I by angiotensinogen, and ACE is produced in the capillaries. The lungs have a lot of capillaries, but they aren't the primary production site of ACE. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.216.51.65 (talk) 06:29, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
