A decrease in blood pressure / volume will not cause the release of:

1. Atrial natriuretic factor
2. Aldosterone
3. ADH
4. Renin

Correct answer: Atrial natriuretic factor

Solution

Atrial natriuretic factor (ANF/ANP) is released when atria are stretched by increased blood volume and pressure, so a decrease in blood pressure/volume does not stimulate it. In contrast, low volume/pressure promotes renin, aldosterone, and ADH release to retain salt and water.
