Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Atrial natriuretic peptide promotes the excretion of sodium and water from the body, which reduces blood volume and pressure. It does this by increasing the glomerular filtration rate, inhibiting renin and aldosterone secretion, inhibiting the action of ADH on the kidney, and inhibiting NaCl reabsorption by the collecting duct. Preventing sodium loss in the urine is not a method by which atrial natriuretic peptide reduces blood volume and pressure, but rather the opposite.
