Detailed Solution

Atrial Natriuretic factor is released by atrial walls of heart in response to high blood pressure. It dilates the blood vessel thus resulting in reducing blood pressure. Aldosterone is a mineralocorticoid secreted by adrenal cortex. It reabsorbs water and sodium by acting on renal tubules thus maintaining body fluid volume and blood pressure.
