Question

Angiotensin - II causes

• A. Contraction of vascular musculature
• B. Release of aldosterone from cortex
• C. Dilation of blood vessels
• D. Both A and B

Answer 1

The correct option is D Both A and B

Angiotensin is a peptide hormone that causes vasoconstriction and an increase in blood pressure. It is part of the renin–angiotensin system, which regulates blood pressure. Angiotensin also stimulates the release of aldosterone from the adrenal cortex to promote sodium retention by the kidneys.

So the correct option is 'Both A & B'.
