Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Angiotensin I is formed from angiotensinogen by the action of renin. Angiotensin I is then converted into angiotensin II by the action of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) in the lungs. Angiotensin II then acts on the adrenal cortex to stimulate the secretion of aldosterone.
