steps of the RAAS

A
  1. macula densa cells in the DCT detect the low Na and alert the JG cells
  2. JG cells secrete renin into blood
  3. the liver is constantly producing angiotensinogen into the blood and when renin is released an enzyme reaction occurs breaking angiotensinogen into angiotensin 1
  4. angiotensin 1 has and enzymatic reaction with ACE that is in pulmonary blood and breaks down into angiotensin 2
