Answer:

The answer is "true"

Step-by-step explanation:

ANP, or ANF, is a human peptide hormone, that controls your blood pressure, a cardiac atrium secretion hormone. It response primarily to the volume and stress expansion of the auricles and ventricles.

  • ANP's main function decreases the amount of increased extracellular fluid by increasing renal excretion.
  • This hormone is primarily developed by cardiovascular myocytes and, emanates from the wall tension locally, that's why the given statement is true.
