A person’s blood pressure can be affected by their blood volume: if volume goes up, so does pressure, if blood volume goes down, pressure goes down. Regulating blood volume can be changed by two hormones; for our purposes, we’ll just call them hormone A and hormone B. Hormone A is a steroid hormone secreted by the adrenal cortex, and it functions to increase blood volume by increasing water reabsorption from the kidneys. Hormone B is secreted by the heart when blood pressure is increased; this hormone decreases blood volume by promoting the loss of water in the urine.
