Urodilatin:
A)inhibits sodium chloride and water reabsorption in the medullary part of the collecting duct.
B)inhibits antidiuretic hormone (ADH) to prevent water reabsorption in the medullary part of the collecting duct.

D)is stimulated by a fall in blood pressure and a decrease in extracellular volume.

Question

Urodilatin (a natriuretic peptide) is produced by distal tubule and collecting duct when there is increased circulating volume and increased blood pressure; inhibits sodium and water reabsorption from medullary part of collecting duct, thereby producing diuresis.
