One paper examines the effect of the antidiuretic hormone, vasopressin, on the mechanisms of solute and water transport in the bladder wall of the toad. A second reviews the elegant countercurrent exchanger and multiplier system that results from the special configurations and functions of nephrons and capillaries of the mammalian kidney; it is in this system that vasopressin facilitates the elaboration of a hypertonic urine. And the third and fourth present the clinical problem of the patient with polyuria and...1 Smith HW: From fish to philosopher.
