- D(A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)
Correct answer
B. (A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(II)
Step-by-step solution
Renin is an enzyme released by the juxtaglomerular (JG) cells in response to a fall in glomerular blood pressure. Angiotensin II is a powerful vasoconstrictor that increases glomerular blood pressure. Aldosterone is a hormone from the adrenal cortex that causes the reabsorption of Na ⁺ and water from the distal parts of the tubule. Atrial Natriuretic Factor (ANF) is released by the atria of the heart and causes vasodilation, thereby decreasing blood pressure. Therefore, the correct match is (A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-
