- 7What 2 hormone system contribute to regulate plasma volume and electrolyte balance?2 organs that secrete hormones regulate the balance. One of which was the kidney and the other one is the heart.
The kidney secretes calcitrol to control calcium levels and the renin-argiostenin system.
The heart secretes the atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) to control the plasma volume and electrolyte balance. - 8What is the action of the hormone secreted by the pineal gland?The pineal gland secretes melatonin. This controls the circardian rhythm.
