  • Generally speaking, washing your hands with soap and water is recommended. Regular soap is just as good at fighting germs as over-the-counter antibacterial soaps.
  • Clean, running water, either warm or cold, should be used to wet your hands.
  • Apply soap and thoroughly lather.
  • For at least 20 seconds, vigorously rub your hands. Keep in mind to scrub everything, including the wrists, between your fingers, and under your fingernails.
  • Clearly rinse.
  • Dry your hands using a fresh towel or let them air dry.

Each of the following statements concerning the hormone atrial natriuretic peptide are true, except one, identify the exception
Mariana [72]

Answer:

The correct answer is E.

Explanation:

The main function of <u>atrial natriuretic peptide</u> (ANP) is to reduce extracellular fluid volume by increasing renal sodium excretion.

<u>Aldosterone</u> is a steroid hormone, produced by the adrenal cortex, that is part of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system which helps to maintain blood pressure. Aldosterone increases reabsorption of sodium and potassium excretion, and as a result an increase in extracellular fluid volume and in blood pressure.  

In conclusion, <em>ANP reduces aldosterone secretion.</em>
