The hormones _______ and _______ ultimately raise blood volume and pressure.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) and aldosterone are both hormones that increase water reabsorption in the kidneys, ultimately leading to an increase in blood volume and pressure. Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) specifically acts on the kidneys to increase water reabsorption, while aldosterone acts on the kidneys to increase reabsorption of both water and sodium. Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) actually works to decrease blood volume and pressure, while angiotensinogen is a precursor to angiotensin II, which can increase blood volume and pressure but is not one of the choices given. Vasopressin is another name for antidiuretic hormone (ADH), but is not paired with atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) in the answer choices.
