    RENIN-ANGIOTENSIN-ALDOSTERONE SYSTEM

    (Schematic Diagram)

    Systemic blood
    pressure drops

    decreased filtrate
    volume, renal perfusion
    and ECF volume deficit
    (↑ thirst and water
    intake)

    ↑ production of
    juxtaglomerular cells
    of kidneys

    Renin production

    ↑ angiotensin I
    production

    angiotensin II formed
    in the blood

    stimulates adrenal
    vasoconstriction of
    cortex
    the blood vessels

    ↑ peripheral resistance aldosterone secretion

    ↓ NA⁺ and H2O


    excretion

    ↑ blood volume

    ↑ blood pressure
    (hypertension)
