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 \(\text{Na}^{+}\) in urine is called Natriuresis.
In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

Show Hint

ANP lowers blood pressure by promoting sodium loss and suppressing renin.

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Understanding the Concept
ANP is released from the atrial wall when blood volume and pressure rise.

Step 2: Check Statement I
ANP blocks sodium and chloride reabsorption in the collecting ducts and inhibits renin release, so Statement I is incorrect.

Step 3: Check Statement II
More sodium excretion in urine is natriuresis, so Statement II is correct.

Final Answer:
Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct. \[ \boxed{\text{(D) }\text{Statement (I) is incorrect but Statement (II) is correct.}} \]
