Assertion :- Angiotensin II, activates the adrenall cortex to release aldosterone. Reason :- Aldosterone causes reabsorption of Na^(o+) and water from the distal parts of the tubule.

[A] : The hormone aldosterone is secreted by adrenal cortex after the low Na^+ content in blood and the resultant low BP causes the kidney to release renin. [R]: Renin in blood leads to the formation of angiotensin II which causes adrenel cortex to release aldosterone that causes kidney to retain Na^+ and, therefore, water is reabsorbed and BP rises.
