Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the role of each hormone listed in the options in relation to water and electrolyte balance.
Aldosterone: This hormone is produced by the adrenal glands and plays a crucial role in regulating sodium and potassium levels, thereby influencing water balance in the body.
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH): Secreted by the posterior pituitary gland, ADH helps to conserve water in the body by reducing urine output and increasing water reabsorption in the kidneys.
Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP): Produced by the heart, ANP helps to reduce blood volume and pressure by promoting the excretion of sodium and water through the kidneys.
Insulin: Primarily involved in glucose metabolism, insulin does not have a direct role in regulating water or electrolyte balance, making it the correct answer to the question.
