Which of the following is attributable to atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP)? ANP is released when blood pressure is reduced. ANP stimulates sodium reabsorption in the distal parts of the nephron. ANP inhibits renin secretion by granular cells. ANP stimulates aldosterone secretion by the adrenal cortex. ANP stimulates sympathetic nervous system activity to the heart and blood vessels.
