Vedclass · Answer

(B) The $Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone$ System $(RAAS)$ is a critical mechanism for regulating blood pressure and fluid balance.$1$. When blood pressure or sodium levels decrease,the kidneys release the enzyme $renin$.$2$. $Renin$ converts the plasma protein $angiotensinogen$ into $angiotensin-I$,which is subsequently converted to $angiotensin-II$ by $Angiotensin-Converting$ $Enzyme$ $(ACE)$.$3$. $Angiotensin-II$ acts on the $adrenal$ $cortex$ (specifically the $zona$ $glomerulosa$) to stimulate the secretion of the hormone $aldosterone$.$4$. $Aldosterone$ increases the reabsorption of sodium and water in the kidneys,thereby increasing blood volume and blood pressure.
