Solution
The correct option is B Atrial Natriuretic Factor
When the blood volume and blood pressure decrease, juxtaglomerular cells in the kidneys secrete the enzyme renin.
Renin catalyses the conversion of angiotensinogen to angiotensin II. Angiotensin II stimulates the adrenal
cortex to release aldosterone.
Aldosterone promotes the absorption of NaCl and water from distal convoluted tubule (DCT). This reabsorption of water leads to an increase in blood volume in turn blood pressure.
Antidiuretic hormone, ADH (vasopressin) is released by the posterior pituitary lobe when the blood has high osmolarity.
However, an increase in blood volume and blood flow to the atria of the heart can cause the release of peptide hormone called atrial natriuretic factor (ANF). The primary function of ANF is to decrease blood pressure.
