The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the renin-angiotensin mechanism to increase blood pressure and the order of organs involved, we can break it down into the following steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Initiation in the Kidney**: The process begins in the kidneys. When blood pressure decreases, the kidneys detect this drop and respond by releasing an enzyme called renin. **Hint**: Remember that the kidneys are the first responders to changes in blood pressure. 2. **Conversion in the Liver**: Renin then acts on a protein produced by the liver known as angiotensinogen. Renin converts angiotensinogen into angiotensin I. **Hint**: Think of the liver as the source of the precursor that renin acts upon. 3. **Activation in the Lungs**: Angiotensin I is then transported to the lungs, where it encounters an enzyme known as angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE). This enzyme converts angiotensin I into angiotensin II. **Hint**: The lungs play a crucial role in the conversion process, highlighting their importance in the mechanism. 4. **Action on the Adrenal Gland**: Angiotensin II has several effects, one of which is to stimulate the adrenal glands to release aldosterone, a hormone that helps regulate blood pressure. **Hint**: The adrenal glands are key players in hormone production that affects blood volume and pressure. 5. **Final Action in the Kidney**: Aldosterone then acts on the kidneys, specifically on the distal convoluted tubule and collecting ducts, promoting the reabsorption of sodium (Na+) and water. This reabsorption increases blood volume and, consequently, blood pressure. **Hint**: The kidneys are involved again, completing the cycle of the renin-angiotensin mechanism. ### Final Order of Organs Involved: - **Kidney → Liver → Lungs → Adrenal Gland → Kidney** ### Conclusion: The correct order of organs involved in the renin-angiotensin mechanism to increase blood pressure is: **Kidney, Liver, Lungs, Adrenal Gland, Kidney.**
