Question

Given below are two statements:
Statement (I): Atrial natriuretic peptide stimulates Na+ and Cl $^{-}$ reabsorption from collecting ducts, stimulates release of renin.
Statement (II): Increased excretion of $Na^{+}$ in urine is called Natriuresis.
In light of the above statements, choose themost appropriateanswer from the options given below.

TestHub · Accepted Answer

Statement (I) is incorrect because Atrial Natriuretic Peptide (ANP) inhibits the reabsorption of $Na^{+}$ and $Cl^{-}$ from the collecting ducts and inhibits the release of renin, thereby reducing blood pressure and blood volume.

Statement (II) is correct because the increased excretion of $Na^{+}$ in the urine is termed natriuresis.

Therefore, Statement (I) is incorrect but Statement (II) is correct.

Answer: Statement (I) is incorrect but Statement (II) is correct.
