PY - 2018 T2 - Rudolph's Pediatrics, 23e AB - Maintenance of the tonicity of extracellular fluids within a very narrow range is crucial for proper cellular function. Normal blood tonicity is maintained over a 10-fold variation in water intake by a coordinated interaction among vasopressin, thirst, and the renal system. Intravascular volume, on the other hand, is controlled mainly by the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system and the natriuretic peptide family.
