Statement I: Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) is released from left atrium of the heart.
Statement II: ANP can cause vasodilation.

• A. Both statements (I) and (II) are correct
• B. Statement I is correct, but statement II is incorrect
• C. Statement I is incorrect, but statement II is correct
• D. Both statements (I) and (II) are incorrect

Hint:

Remember: ANP is secreted by the right atrium and helps reduce blood pressure by promoting vasodilation and sodium excretion.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

ANP is secreted by the right atrium, not the left. However, it plays a key role in vasodilation and blood pressure regulation.
