What else can I help you with?
Atrial natriuretic factor is secreted in response to?
High blood pressure. PS it is known as atrial natriuretic peptide.
What hormone is secreted by the muscle fibers in the heart's atrium?
It's Atrial Natriuretic Peptide also known as Atrial Natriuretic Factor or Atrial Natriuretic Hormone or sometimes called Atriopeptin
Will atrial natriuretic peptide lower blood pressure?
yes
From where ANF is secreted?
ANF, or atrial natriuretic peptide, is primarily secreted by the atria of the heart in response to high blood pressure or high blood volume. It plays a role in regulating blood pressure, fluid balance, and electrolyte levels in the body.
Atrial natriuretic peptide is a hormone that is made in the atria of the heart The influence of this hormone is?
reduce blood pressure
When Atrial natriuretic peptide is elevated what does it cause?
Its an indicator of congested heart failure.
Which hormone released by the heart regulates blood pressure?
Anti Naturetic Hormone which functions in reduction of water in the body.
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
Which hormone is most likely to be released in the body when blood pressure and volume is abnormally high?
atrial natriuretic peptide
What factor inhibits aldosterone release?
Atrial Natriuretic peptide (ANP)
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 is secreted by cells in the walls of the hearts atria?
atrial natriuretic hormone (ANH)
