    7. Hypothalamic hormone important in regulating water balance.
    8. Hormone that protects the body during long-term stressful situations such as
    extended illness and surgery.

    5. After moderate blood loss, several mechanisms come into play to increase blood
    pressure and make up blood volume. Explain the 3 mechanisms.
