Angiotensin II

A) causes vasoconstriction.
B) stimulates the adrenal cortex to release ADH.
C) is released in response to high blood pressure.
D) is responsible for increasing urine output.
E) stimulates peripheral vasodilation.

Peripheral Vasodilation

The widening of blood vessels in the peripheral parts of the body, often in response to heat, exercise, or certain vasodilatory signals, leading to increased blood flow.

Urine Output

The volume of urine released by the kidneys over a defined period, indicating hydration status and renal health.

Angiotensin II

A potent vasoconstrictor involved in blood pressure regulation and fluid balance, formed from angiotensin I through the action of ACE.
