Which statement regarding the regulation of blood pressure by the endocrine system is correct? A. In comparison to other physiological regulatory processes, it is slow. B. Aldosterone is responsible for the conversion of angiotensin I into angioten- sin II C. In response to a drop in blood pressure, the renin-angiotensin aldosterone system leads to parasympathetic stimulation D. Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) is responsible for converting angio- tensinogen into angiotensin I
Option A. Hormone manipulate mechanisms are slower than the ones managed by the nervous system. ACE converts angiotensin I to angiotensin II. Parasympathetic stimulation decreases CO and therefore BP.
