Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Angiotensinogen is produced by the liver and is the precursor to the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system.

Answer: D
 Angiotensin II is the active form of angiotensin that is involved in vasoconstriction, aldosterone release, and increased blood pressure.

Answer: E
 Aldosterone is a steroid hormone produced by the adrenal glands that regulates salt and water balance in the body.

Note: Renin and atrial natriuretic peptide were not produced by the liver and angiotensin I is an intermediate in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system rather than a product of the liver.
