Where is anp made in the body?
Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) is made in the atria of the heart, specifically in specialized cells known as atrial myocytes. ANP is released in response to stretching of the atrial walls, such as during an increase in blood volume or pressure, and plays a role in regulating blood pressure and fluid balance 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
What effect does the presence of ANP have on the body?

What does ANP mean after a doctors name?
ANP means Advanced Nurse Practitioner.
What is ANP and where is it produced?
ANP (atrial natriuretic peptide) is a hormone that helps regulate blood pressure and fluid balance in the body. It is primarily produced and released by the heart, specifically by the atria (the upper chambers of the heart).
Which hormone is most likely to be released in the body when blood pressure and volume is abnormally high?
atrial natriuretic peptide
When Atrial natriuretic peptide is elevated what does it cause?
Its an indicator of congested heart failure.
What is the effect of ANP in the distal tubule?
Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) acts on the distal tubule of the kidney to inhibit sodium reabsorption and increase sodium excretion. This leads to increased urine production and ultimately helps regulate blood pressure and fluid balance in the body.
What do the initials ANP WHNP stand for on the end of a name?
ANP- Adult Nurse Practitioner. WHNP- Women's Health Nurse Practitioner.
What hormones of the heart?
Atrial Natruitetic Peptide (ANP)
What is the hormone that decreases blood volume?
anp
