Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: The arterioles of the lungs are not the most sensitive to angiotensin II effects.
Rationale 2: The arterioles of the liver are not the most sensitive to angiotensin II effects.
Rationale 3: The arterioles of the kidneys are the most sensitive to the vasopressin action of angiotensin II.
Rationale 4: The arterioles of the heart are not the most sensitive to angiotensin II effects.
Global Rationale: The arterioles of the kidneys are the most sensitive to the vasopressin action of angiotensin II. The arterioles of the lungs, liver, and heart are not the most sensitive to angiotensin II effects.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2,3
Rationale 1: ACE is not responsible for the formation of angiotensin I.
Rationale 2: ACE is responsible for the formation of angiotensin II.
Rationale 3: ACE is responsible for breaking down bradykinin.
Rationale 4: ACE is not responsible for breaking down histamine.
Rationale 5: ACE is not responsible for the formation of kininase, but it is sometimes referred to as kininase II.
Global Rationale: ACE is responsible for the formation of angiotensin II and breaking down bradykinin. ACE is not responsible for the formation of angiotensin I, breaking down histamine, or for the formation of kininase (kininase II).
