Question

Under low glomerular blood flow, juxta glomerular cells release

• A. Angiotensin I
• B. Angiotensin II
• C. Aldosterone
• D. Renin

Answer 1

The correct option is D Renin

Juxta-glomerular cells are specialized smooth muscle cells of the afferent arteriole, which supplies blood to the glomerulus. When the kidney receives the low volume of blood (low glomerular blood flow)the juxtaglomerular cells are stimulated to release renin.

So, the correct answer is 'Renin'.
