Question

Which of the following converts angiotensinogen to angiotension I ?

• A. Ranin
• B. Aldosterone
• C. Heparin
• D. Vasopressin

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Ranin

• Renin is an enzyme produced by the kidneys that converts angiotensinogen, a protein produced by the liver, into angiotensin I.

• This is the first step in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), which plays a crucial role in regulating blood pressure and electrolyte balance.
