The atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP)‐system was examined in Rana esculenta lung with cytochemical and immunocytochemical methods. The results showed a cellular type that synthesizes the hormone and the presence of receptors in various components of the lung. The lung, therefore, produces ANP and at the same time is a target organ for the hormone. ANP may play an important physiological role in pulmonary function and in protecting against pulmonary edema.
