Q

Renin-angiotensin system

A

Low BP= low perfusion in kidneys = Renin secretion( a proteolytic enzyme) , angiotensinogen from liver, Renin cleaves angiotensinogen to Angiotensin 1, Then lung epithelium –> ACE, which converts Angiotensin 1–>angiotensin 2 –> adrenal gland–> aldosterone–> inc. Na+ absorption in kidney = inc. in BP
