Physiology

Renal

Question 30 of 180

Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) has the primary function of which of the following:

Answer:

The net result is increased excretion of water and Na+ and hence reduced blood volume.

Atrial Natriuretic Peptide

Physiology / Renal / Mechanism of Filtration

Last Updated: 21st April 2019

Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) is released from cardiac atrial muscle cells in response to atrial stretch caused by an increase in intravascular fluid volume and is also produced in collecting duct cells.

Function

ANP acts to:

  • Inhibit Na+ reabsorption in the distal nephron (through inhibition of ENaC in principal cells)
  • Suppress the production of renin
  • Suppress the production of aldosterone
  • Suppress the production of ADH
  • Cause renal vasodilation, increasing the glomerular filtration rate

The net result is increased excretion of water and Na+ and hence reduced blood volume.
