What are the primary effects of ACE inhibitors?

  1. Muscular and skeletal

  2. Cardiovascular and renal

  3. Neurological and psychological

  4. Digestive and metabolic

The correct answer is: Cardiovascular and renal

ACE inhibitors primarily affect the cardiovascular and renal systems. These medications work by blocking the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), which helps regulate blood pressure and fluid balance in the body. By blocking ACE, these medications can help lower blood pressure and reduce strain on the heart. They can also improve kidney function and reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke. The other options, such as muscular and skeletal, neurological and psychological, and digestive and metabolic, are not primary effects of ACE inhibitors and may instead be side effects or secondary effects of the medication.
