Atrial natriuretic factor is secreted in response to?
High blood pressure. PS it is known as atrial natriuretic peptide.
Atrial natriuretic peptide ANP helps to lower blood pressure and is secreted by the?
heart
Atrial natriuretic peptide is a hormone that is made in the atria of the heart The influence of this hormone is?
reduce blood pressure
Which hormone promotes a decrease in blood pressure and a loss of sodium and water in urine?
atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP)
Which hormone released by the heart regulates blood pressure?
Anti Naturetic Hormone which functions in reduction of water in the body.
Which hormone is most likely to be released in the body when blood pressure and volume is abnormally high?
atrial natriuretic peptide
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 hormone causes sodium to be lost in the urine along with water and helps to lower blood pressure?
A hormone called atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) is secreted by the heart in response to a rise in blood pressure and fluctuating sodium-water balances. The result of it's actions (that are a bit tricky but I can elaborate if you require) are that blood pressure is decreased by allowing sodium and water to leave the body via the urine.cortisol
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.
What constituents of blood help to maintain adequate fluid volume in the circulatory system?
By secreting Atrial Natriuretic Peptide hormone.
Does the heart secrete any hormones?
NO!! Natriuretic peptides A-type Natriuretic peptide (ANP) (from stretched atria) B - type Natriuretic peptide (BNP) (from ventricles) Both lower blood pressure.
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. :)
