Explanation / Answer
A vasoconstrictor that also stimulates thirst and release of aldosterone and ADH - e. Angiotensin II.
Released from the posterior pituitary, this hormone also increases blood volume - b. Antidiuretic hormone
The "third factor", it is produced by cells of the heart - f. Atrial Natriuretic Peptide
May have clinical applications in reducing edema by causing dieresis and natriuresis - c. Aldosterone
Released under sympatheric stiulation; lead to arteriorlar vasoconstriction & decreased GFR - g. Epinephrine.
