All of the following are true except

A

Renin is secreted by Juxta glomerular cells

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the statements provided and identify which one is false. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Secretory Source of Renin**: - Renin is secreted by the juxtaglomerular (JG) cells of the kidney. This statement is true. 2. **Understand the Role of GFR**: - A fall in the Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) does indeed activate the juxtaglomerular cells to release renin. This statement is also true. 3. **Renin's Function**: - Renin converts angiotensinogen (produced by the liver) into angiotensin I. This statement is true. 4. **Conversion of Angiotensin I to Angiotensin II**: - Angiotensin I is then converted to angiotensin II by the action of enzymes, primarily in the lungs. Angiotensin II is a potent vasoconstrictor. This statement is true. 5. **Identify the False Statement**: - The only false statement in the context is that "renin converts angiotensinogen to angiotensin II." In reality, renin converts angiotensinogen to angiotensin I, and then angiotensin I is converted to angiotensin II by enzymes in the lungs. ### Conclusion: The false statement among the options provided is the one that claims renin directly converts angiotensinogen to angiotensin II. ---
