What mechanism acts as a check on the Renin-Angiotensin mechanism?
  1. Aldosterone mechanism
  2. Angiotensin mechanism
  3. Atrial Natriuretic Factor (ANF) mechanism
  4. Renin mechanism

Solution

An increase in blood flow to the atria of the heart can cause the release of ANF, which can cause vasodilation and decrease blood pressure, acting as a check on the Renin-Angiotensin mechanism.
