Which Hormone(s) is Released by Heart Muscle in Response to Excessive

Question

Which hormone(s) is released by heart muscle in response to excessive chamber volume?
A) ADH
B) aldosterone
C) PTH
D) acetylcholine
E) natriuretic peptides

Accepted Answer

Natriuretic peptides are released by heart muscle in response to excessive chamber volume, causing vasodilation and increased urinary excretion of sodium and water. This helps to decrease blood pressure and reduce the workload on the heart. ADH, aldosterone, PTH, and acetylcholine are not hormones released by the heart in response to excessive chamber volume.
