Which hormone is most likely to be released in the body when blood pressure and volume is abnormally high?
atrial natriuretic peptide
How does Atrial natriuretic peptide reduce blood volume and pressure?
ANP acts to reduce the water, sodium and adipose loads on the circulatory system, thereby reducing blood pressure. ANP has exactly the opposite function of the aldosterone secreted by the zona glomerulosa.
What does the hormone Atrial natriuretic peptide do?
It inhibits release of renin from the kidneys and of aldosterone from the adrenal cortex. The result is increased excretion of sodium ions and water from the kidneys and lowered blood volume and blood pressure. Or what you might be looking for is all of the above. :)
What hormone reduces blood pressure and blood volume by inhibiting nearly all events that promote vasoconstriction and soduim ion and water retention?
atrial natriuretic peptide
What constituents of blood help to maintain adequate fluid volume in the circulatory system?
By secreting Atrial Natriuretic Peptide hormone.
What does a brain natriuretic peptide do?
When the walls of the atria are stretched by increased blood volume or blood pressure, the cells of the atria produce ANP (atrial natriuretic peptide). ANP's main function is to decrease the reabsorption of sodium ions (by the kidneys) in order to increase the elimination of water (in urine), and decrease blood volume and blood pressure. I'm not sure how much you've studied as far as the endocrine system goes, but it's basically the antagonist to the hormone Aldosterone.
According to ideal gas eqation if pressure is double to initial pressure then what happens to the volume?
It would be half of the original volume. As you reduce the volume the pressure would increase and at half the original volume the pressure would be doubled.
How do you increase the volume of gas?
To increase the volume of a gas * reduce the pressure, or * increase the temperature, or * add more gas
What is Atrionatriuretic factor?
Atrionatriuretic Factor (ANF) is released from atrial cells in response to increased blood volume. It acts to increase the excretion of sodium by the kidneys in order to reduce extracellular fluid volumes and decrease blood volume.
If the pressure on a gas increases four fold what happens to its volume?
The volume, in this case, will reduce by a factor of 4 (i.e., to 1/4 of its previous volume).
What happens to the volume of blood in the ventricle during the period of isovolumetric contraction?
Both ventricular contraction and atrial diastole take place.
How can we reduce pressure?
Pressure in a glass can be reduced by either decreasing the amount of the gas in a finite space, or by increasing the volume of the finite space.
