Question

Angiotensinogen is created in the _______ and is converted in the lungs to angiotensin I, which _______ blood vessels thus _______ blood pressure, and angiotensin II, which _______ blood vessels thus _______ blood pressure. Suite of hormones that act in releasing bile/enzymes from liver and enzymes/bicarbonates from pancreas (include organ of synthesis). a) _______ _______ b) _______ _______ c) _______ _______ Cells in pancreas producing glucagon and insulin. _______ Insulin _______ sugars from the blood. Glucagon _______ sugars from the blood.

Explanation / Answer

27. Angioteninogen is created in the liver and is converted in the lungs to angiotensin I, which have no effect in blood vessel thus no change in blood pressure, and angiotensin II, which constricts blood vessel thus increases blood pressure.

[As angiotensin I have no biological activity so it have no role in blood vessel as well as in blood pressure. It only acts as a precursor molecule for angiotensin II.]

28. a) Cholecystokinin helps to release bile from liver. It secreted by enteroendocrine cells in the duodenum.

b) Cholecystokinin helps to release enzyme/bicarbonete from pancreas. It secreted by enteroendocrine cells in the duodenum.

c) Secretin helps to release enzyme from pancreas. It is secreted by S cells of the duodenum.

29. Glucagon is secreted by the alpha cells of the pancreatic islets and Insulin is secreted by the beta cells of pancreatic islets.

30. Insulin decreases the level of sugars from the blood.

Glucagon increases the level of sugars from the blood.
