Atrial natriuretic peptide causes:
[D1 (All of the above): Ref: 460-61-G, 364-SL (675- Ganong 23rd)ATRIAL-NATRIURETIC PEPTIDE: secreted by atrial musculature of the heart* ANP increases excretion of sodium ions through urine (natriuresis)* ANP causes dilatation of vessels (vasodilation) and lowering blood pressure* ANP is responsible for escape phenomenon and prevention of edema in primary hyperaldosteronism in spite of increased volume of ECF
Increases glomerular filtration rate by acting via mesengel cells
Increases the permeability of renal tubules for excretion of sodium ions
Vasodilation
All of the above
