Part I: the effects of the nature of respired gases on the pulmonary vascular bed with reference to the effects of carbon dioxide, oxygen and nitrogen; Part II: changes in renal function due to the action of certain drugs upon the hypothalamus

Variations in the amount of antidiuretic hormone secreted from the neurohypophysis are reflected as changes in the rate of urine flow from the kidneys. The evidence has already been discussed in the introduction to this thesis for the belief that the neurohypophysis is innervated from cells in the supraoptic nucleus; and that the integrity of the nervous connections between the supraoptic nucleus and the neurohypophysis is essential for the normal control of the rate of 'urine secretion.
