Select the correct statements. 
A. Angiotensin II activates the cortex of adrenal gland to release aldosterone. 
B. Aldosterone leads to increase in blood pressure. 
C. ANF acts as a check on renin-angiotensin mechanism. 
D. ADH causes vasodilation. 
E. Vasopressin is released from adenohypophysis. 
Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

The correct statements are (A), (B), and (C) only. (D) and (E) are incorrect.
A. Angiotensin II is a hormone that s produced as part of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. It acts on the cortex of the adrenal gland to stimulate the release of aldosterone. 
B. Aldosterone is a hormone that plays a key role in regulating sodium and water balance in the body. By increasing the reabsorption of sodium and water in the kidneys, it leads to an increase in blood volume and, consequently, an increase in blood pressure. 
C. ANF (Atrial Natriuretic Peptide) is a hormone that is released by the heart in response to increased blood volume and pressure. It acts as a check on the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system by promoting vasodilation and the excretion of sodium and water by the kidneys, thus reducing blood volume and blood pressure. 
D. ADH (Antidiuretic Hormone), also known as vasopressin, actually causes vasoconstriction. It acts on blood vessels to constrict them, which helps to increase blood pressure. 
E. Vasopressin, also known as ADH (Antidiuretic Hormone), is released from the neurohypophysis, which is the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland. The adenohypophysis (anterior lobe) of the pituitary gland is responsible for releasing various tropic hormones, but not vasopressin.
