What is the function of hormone Angiotensinogen?

Solution

Answer: improve blood pressure finally to attain homeostasis

Reason:

Primarily low blood pressure trigger the release of precursor, angiotensinogen peptide, a serpin family from the liver cells followed by formation of angiotensin I finally to angiotensin II in the presence of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE). This angiotensin II active form is going to act on the \"zona glomerulosa cells of the adrenal cortex in the adrenal gland on kidney\" to trigger release of aldosterone to act on kidney cells finally to the reabsorption of sodium result in improve in blood pressure to normal
