The correct Answer is:
To solve the question step by step, we will break down each part of the question and provide the answers accordingly. ### Step 1: Understanding the Role of GFR - GFR stands for Glomerular Filtration Rate, which is a measure of how well the kidneys are filtering blood. A fall in GFR indicates that the kidneys are not filtering blood effectively. ### Step 2: Activation of JG Cells - The fall in GFR activates the juxtaglomerular (JG) cells in the kidneys. These cells respond to low blood pressure or low sodium levels by releasing an enzyme called renin. ### Step 3: Conversion of Angiotensinogen - Renin acts on a protein called angiotensinogen, which is produced by the liver. Renin converts angiotensinogen into angiotensin I. - **Answer:** Angiotensinogen is converted into **angiotensin I**. ### Step 4: Formation of Angiotensin II - Angiotensin I is then converted into angiotensin II by the action of an enzyme called angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), primarily in the lungs. ### Step 5: Function of Angiotensin II - Angiotensin II is a powerful vasoconstrictor. This means it causes blood vessels to constrict, which increases blood pressure. - **Answer:** Angiotensin II is a powerful **vasoconstrictor**. ### Step 6: Effects on Glomerular Blood Pressure - The increase in blood pressure due to vasoconstriction leads to an increase in glomerular blood pressure, which helps to restore GFR. - **Answer:** It causes an increase in **glomerular filtration rate (GFR)**. ### Final Answers: 1. Angiotensinogen is converted into **angiotensin I**. 2. Angiotensin II is a powerful **vasoconstrictor**. 3. It causes an increase in **glomerular filtration rate (GFR)**. ---
