Summary Introduction

To determine:

The hormone that decreases blood pressure.

Concept introduction:

Blood pressure is the pressure on the walls of blood vessels exerted by the blood. The factors that affect blood pressure are: vasoconstriction, hypertension, and so on. The release of mineralocorticoid hormone from the adrenal cortex regulates the balance of sodium ion and water in kidney and help in maintaining the blood volume and pressure.
