Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Angiotensin I is converted to angiotensin II by angiotensin converting enzyme in the lungs.
The liver synthesizes angiotensinogen rather than assisting with the conversion of angiotensin I to II.
The kidneys release renin,which initiates the process; it is not involved in the conversion of angiotensin I to II
The heart does not assist in the conversion of angiotensin I to II.
