Renin Angiotensin Aldosterone System Raas Mechanism — a labelled NEET Biology diagram with a definitions lexicon.
Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System (RAAS) Mechanism Labelled parts: Kidney, Renin, Angiotensinogen, Angiotensin I, Angiotensin II, ACE, Lung, Adrenal Gland, Aldosterone, Posterior Pituitary, ADH. An enzyme secreted by the kidney that regulates blood pressure. A potent vasoconstrictor that increases blood pressure and stimulates aldosterone release. A hormone acting on the kidneys to increase sodium reabsorption and potassium excretion. Antidiuretic Hormone; regulates water balance by increasing water reabsorption in the kidney. Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme; converts Angiotensin I to Angiotensin II.
