Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) is a cardiac hormone that regulates salt-water balance and blood pressure by promoting renal sodium and water excretion and stimulating vasodilation.
Detailed explanation-2: -ANP and BNP are secreted by the heart and act as cardiac hormones. Human ANP has three molecular forms: -ANP, -ANP, and proANP (or -ANP).
Detailed explanation-3: -Physiological Effects of Atrial Naturetic Hormone The most potent stimulus for release of ANP is atrial stretch, the consequence of abnormally high circulating blood volume. The desired physiologic response to normalize this condition is to enhance elimination water and sodium in urine.
