Q

Renin-Angiotensin Mechanism

A
  1. Decreased blood pressure stimulates kidneys to secrete renin
  2. Renin splits the plasma protein angiotensinogen (synthesized by liver) to angiotensin l.
  3. Angiotensin l. is converted to angiotensin II by an enzyme (called converting enzyme) secreted by lung tissue and vascular endothelium
  4. Angiotensin II causes vasoconstriction, stimulates adrenal cortex to secrete aldosterone
