The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to evaluate each of the statements provided and identify which one is incorrect. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the solution: ### Step 1: Analyze each statement 1. **Statement 1**: "Renin is secreted by juxtaglomerular cells." - This statement is **true**. Juxtaglomerular cells are specialized smooth muscle cells in the kidney that secrete the enzyme renin. 2. **Statement 2**: "Juxtaglomerular cells are present in efferent arterioles." - This statement is **false**. Juxtaglomerular cells are actually located in the **afferent arterioles** of the nephron, not the efferent arterioles. 3. **Statement 3**: "Renin causes conversion of angiotensinogen to angiotensin." - This statement is **true**. Renin acts on angiotensinogen (produced by the liver) to convert it into angiotensin I, which is further converted to angiotensin II. 4. **Statement 4**: "Angiotensin II is a potent vasodilator." - This statement is **false**. Angiotensin II is actually a potent **vasoconstrictor**, which means it narrows blood vessels, increasing blood pressure. ### Step 2: Identify the incorrect statement From the analysis, we see: - Statement 1 is true. - Statement 2 is false (incorrect). - Statement 3 is true. - Statement 4 is false (incorrect). Since the question asks for the statement that is not true, we find that **Statement 2** is the one that is incorrect. ### Final Answer The incorrect statement is: **"Juxtaglomerular cells are present in efferent arterioles."** ---
