As soon as the pituitary gland
learns that the level of fluid in the
blood has declined, it releases
the stored hormone vasopressin
into the bloodstream, where it is
forwarded to the kidneys.

(Figure 8). After vasopressin sets out from the pituitary gland in the brain
until it arrives at the kidney, it passes by a great many organs. Yet as if this
hormone knew where it was going, by what route and what its purpose
was, it reaches the kidney without getting lost or stopping at any other
organ. How does it receive the command to head straight to the kidney,
and how can the unconscious molecules in question understand the mes-

The vasopressin hormone reaches the kidney by locking onto re-

tors have been specially created for vasopressin, and the two fit one
