Angiotensin III is released from _______ in response to a decrease in the concentration of sodium chloride:
Answer: Juxtaglomerular cells
Explanation
Angiotensin III is part of the renin-angiotensin system, which regulates blood pressure and fluid balance.
The juxtaglomerular cells, located in the kidneys, release renin in response to a decrease in sodium chloride concentration in the distal tubules.
Renin then catalyzes the conversion of angiotensinogen to angiotensin I,
Which is further converted to angiotensin II, and subsequently to angiotensin III.
This cascade helps in regulating blood pressure and sodium balance.
