in view of the importance of neurohypophysial hormones and their target tissues to the osmotic homeostasis of amphibians , and the observation of antagonism between the kinins and the pituitary hormones coupled to the abundance of kinins in the amphibian organism , particularly in the skin and urinary bladder , teleological reasoning predicts a physiological role for the kinins , possibly functioning to dampen excesses and oscillations in membrane permeability that could occur in face of a constant and variable secretion of neurohypophysial hormone , thus adding to the homeostatic response of the amphibian organism .
