Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Angiotensin II is a potent constrictor of arterioles.

Answer: A
 Renin is an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of angiotensinogen to angiotensin I, initiating the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system.

Answer: B
 Angiotensinogen is a precursor to angiotensin I in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system.

Answer: C
 Angiotensin I is the precursor to angiotensin II in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system.

Answer: E
 Aldosterone is a hormone that regulates sodium and potassium balance by increasing sodium reabsorption and potassium excretion in the kidneys.

Answer: F
 Atrial natriuretic peptide is a hormone that promotes the excretion of sodium and water by the kidneys, leading to decreased blood pressure. It does not affect arterioles specifically.
