Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Angiotensin II is a hormone produced in response to a drop in blood pressure. It acts on blood vessels to constrict them, increasing the resistance to blood flow and raising blood pressure. This compensatory mechanism helps to maintain adequate blood flow to vital organs, such as the brain and kidneys. Similar to vasopressin, angiotensin II also stimulates the release of aldosterone from the adrenal glands, which helps to retain sodium and water in the body, further increasing blood volume and pressure.
