Release & Functions of Atrial Natriuretic Peptide [ANP]

The video explains the RAAS and ANP systems, focusing on how the ANP system responds to high blood volume and pressure. ANP is released from the right atrium when stretched, leading to vasodilation and increased urine output, which lowers blood pressure and volume. The video contrasts this with the RAAS system, which responds to low blood pressure.
