Answer:
Pepsinogen is produced by chief cells and is activated by hydrochloric acid secreted by parietal cells.
Explanation:
Pepsinogen is a proenzyme produced in the chief cells (that are located in the stomach lining) that, when gets activated, is transformed into pepsin - a peptidase with the function to degrade proteins into amino acids.
The reason why pepsinogen is released inactive is that it would break down all of the cell's proteins because of its proteolytic nature. For this reason, it is released as a proenzyme and gets activated when reaches the acidic environment provided by the hydrochloric acid secreted by the parietal cells, also in the stomach lining.

Explanation:
This system works hand-in-hand with the respiratory system to facilitate the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide within the blood per the alveoli in the lungs.
The right answer is D. renal regulation.
Among the many factors that modulate tension (vessels, heart strength, blood volume ...), the kidney plays a vital role because it makes an enzyme called renin that helps increase blood pressure and it regulates the outflow of sodium and water, which contribute to the elevation or diminution of blood pressure in the arteries.
