Atrial natriuretic hormone increases ________.
A) urine volume.
B) ADH secretion.
C) aldosterone secretion.
D) the reabsorption of Na+.
E) blood volume.
Natriuretic Hormone
Hormones, such as atrial natriuretic peptide, that help to regulate fluid balance and blood pressure by increasing the excretion of sodium and water from the kidneys.
Urine Volume
Urine volume is the total amount of urine excreted by the kidneys over a specified period, an important measure for assessing renal function and fluid balance.
- Gain insight into the contribution and governance of aldosterone in the homeostasis of potassium and sodium.
- Outline the significance of Antidiuretic Hormone in the regulation of fluid balance, and its effects on the modulation of blood pressure and volume.
