Which of the following chemicals effects blood pressure for both the short and long term?

a. angiotensin II

b. aldosterone

c. nitric acid

d. atrial natriuretic peptide

a. angiotensin II

Explanation:

Angiotensins are a set of peptide hormones that cause vasoconstriction and a subsequent increase in blood pressure, its main objective is to lower blood pressure.

Aldosterone is a hormone produced by the adrenal cortex that inhibits the level of sodium excreted in the urine, maintaining volume and blood pressure.

Nitric acid is a viscous and corrosive liquid that can cause severe burns in living things. It is used as a laboratory reagent and to make explosives such as nitroglycerin and trinitrotoluene, as well as fertilizers such as ammonium nitrate.

The atrial natriuretic peptide is a polypeptide and is related to the homeostatic control of body water, sodium, potassium and adipose tissue.
