Question

Which among the following does not occur in response to the release of angiotensin II? (A) Vasoconstriction (B) Increase in blood pressure (C) Release of mineralocorticoids (D) Decreased reabsorption of Na+ from renal tubules

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

As the blood pressure decreases, Juxtaglomerular apparatus cells (JGA) releases Renin enzyme to activate Renin-Angiotensinogen-Aldosterone-System (RAAS).
Renin converts Angiotensinogen into the active form Angiotensin-I, which is further converted into Angitensin-II by the enzyme Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE).
The angiotensin II hormone aids in the reabsorption of sodium in the Na-H exchange that takes place in the proximal convoluted tubule.
Angiotensin-II increases the synthesis of Aldosterone and its subsequent release. It also raises the blood pressure directly by the constriction of vessels (vasoconstriction) and thereby stimulates the sodium reabsorption by PCT.
