Blood volume would increase due to the release of which of the following: epinephrine norepinephrine aldosterone antidiuretic hormone atrial natriuretic peptide

Kidneys Natriuresis (diuresis) NATRIURETIC PEPTIDES Increased venous return Decreased renin and ACE activity Blood vessels Dilation Decreased ATII and aldosterone Decreased arterial (and venous) blood pressure
The atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) lowers blood pressure by acting as a vasodilator. It is released by cells in the atrium of the heart in response to high blood pressure and in patients with sleep apnea. ANP prevents sodium reabsorption by the renal tubules. Therefore, what excretory system symptom might someone with sleep apnea also experience and why? a. reduction in urination due to reduction of water reabsorption in the kidneys b. excessive sodium reabsorption by renal tubes due to increase in water reabsorption in the kidneys c. excessive sodium reabsorption by renal tubes due to reduction of water reabsorption in the kidneys d. excessive urination due to reduction of water reabsorption in the kidneys
