Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

ANH, or atrial natriuretic hormone, increases the amount of water lost in the urine by inhibiting the reabsorption of sodium and water in the kidneys. This results in increased urine production and the loss of excess fluid from the body. ADH (antidiuretic hormone) and aldosterone have the opposite effect by promoting water reabsorption in the kidneys.
