Urinary Flashcards
Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone (RAA) mechanism
(1) blood pressure low - (refer “a”)
(2) dehydrated
a.) kidney releases renin
b.) angiotensinogen
c.) angiotensin 1 (A1)
d.) angiotensin converting enzymes (ACE) (in lungs)
e.) angiotensin 2 (A2)
a1) vasoconstriction
a2) raises blood pressure
b1) release of aldosterone
b2) reabsorption of sodium
b3) attract water
When a person has low BP
(Low) BP = Cardiac output (CO) x Systemic vascular resistance (SVR)
