|
Term
| Which enzyme secreted by the kidneys converts angiotensin a plasma protein produced by the liver to angiotensin and in lungs it is modified to hormone angiotensin 2 which stimulates secretions of aldosterone by adrenal cortex and ADH of posterior pituitary to elevate blood pressure by restricting salt and water looses at kidneys? |
