Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Atrial natriuretic hormone is produced by the atria of the heart and is secreted when blood volume is too high. It works to increase urinary sodium and water excretion to decrease blood volume and thus decrease blood pressure. It does not stimulate aldosterone secretion, which actually works to retain sodium in the body and increases blood volume. It is not produced by the adrenal glands.
