Question:

A decrease in blood pressure/volume will not cause the release of Aldosterone, Renin, ADH, or Atrial Natriuretic Factor?

Renin

ADH

Aldosterone

Atrial Natriuretic Factor

Solution:

ANF is atrial natriuretic factor causes vasodilation and leads to a decrease of blood pressure. The increase in the blood flow to the atria of the heart causes the release of ANF. It is mainly released by the atria of the heart in response to high blood volume. It reduces the water, sodium, and adipose concentration in the circulatory system and thus reduces blood pressure. So, the correct answer is option C.
