Atrial Natriuretic Hormone (ANH)

Its produced from cells in the right atrium in response to an increase in strength of the arterial wall caused by abnormally high blood volume or blood pressure. These receptors in the atrium are also stimulated by high serum sodium levels. ANH acts on the kids to increase sodium loss. Increased loss of urinary sodium pulls water into the urine, resulting in a decreased blood volume and a decrease in blood pressure. ANH also inhibits renin, ADH , and the action of angiotensin II on the adrenal glands, thereby suppressing aldosterone secretion. ANH also causes Vasodilation.

Which structure of the brain is responsible for the regulation of water content in the blood?

The structure of the brain responsible for the regulation of water content in the blood is the hypothalamus. It monitors the osmotic pressure of the blood and detects changes in hydration levels. In response, it regulates the release of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) from the pituitary gland, which helps control water reabsorption in the kidneys. This mechanism plays a crucial role in maintaining fluid balance in the body.
