Vasoconstricts the afferent arteriole
|
|
|
Enhances Cl-reabsorption in the PCT

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The correct answer: The option which is not true about angiotensin II is b) activates parasympathetic output.
Detailed explanation-2: -The kidneys: it increases sodium retention and alters the way the kidneys filter blood. This increases water reabsorption in the kidney to increase blood volume and blood pressure.
