Which of the following is NOT one of the ways that angiotensin II increases arterial blood pressure?

Angiotensin II triggers the sensation of thirst.
Angiotensin II stimulates the secretion of aldosterone.
Angiotensin II promotes vasodilation that decreases peripheral resistance.
Angiotensin II prompts the release of antidiuretic hormone (ADH).

Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct option is: C. Angiotensin II promotes vasodilation that decreases peripheral resistance.

Explanation:

Angiotensin II, trade name Giapreza, is a drug that acts as a vasoconstrictor and is used in the treatment of low blood pressure (hypotension) caused due to a septic shock.

It is responsible for triggering the production of aldosterone from the adrenal glands and the secretion of antidiuretic hormone from the pituitary gland. It also triggers thirst and responsible for sodium retention in the body.
