Mosquito transmission of the nematode Wuchereria bacrofti can lead to disease in the lymphatic system, resulting in poor fluid drainage from tissue. This can cause a condition called elephantiasis. Treatment of the underlying worm infection frequently will resolve the problem. However, on occasion, fluid must be drained surgically. In one such case, doctors removed 17.269 Liters of fluid.   How many milliliters did they remove?

“At times of low volume cardiac output, cardiopulmonary volume receptors detect low volumes and relay information to the hypothalamus in the brain. In response, the hypothalamus increases the production of the steroid hormone vasopressin. Vasopressin causes the body to retain water, increasing salt concentration in the bloodstream, thereby increasing blood pressure and cardiac output.” What is the effector in this homeostasis example?
