Kidneys25
- Renin ( etymology and pronunciation ), also known as an angiotensinogenase , is an aspartic protease protein and enzyme secreted by the kidneys that participates in the body's renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS)-also known as the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone axis-that increases the volume of extracellular fluid ( blood plasma , lymph and interstitial fluid ) and causes arterial vasoconstriction . (wikipedia.org)
- Angiotensin II also acts on the adrenal glands and releases aldosterone , which stimulates the epithelial cells in the distal tubule and collecting ducts of the kidneys to increase re-absorption of sodium, exchanging with potassium to maintain electrochemical neutrality, and water, leading to raised blood volume and raised blood pressure. (wikipedia.org)
- Renin's primary function is therefore to eventually cause an increase in blood pressure, leading to restoration of perfusion pressure in the kidneys. (wikipedia.org)
- Renovascular hypertension is high blood pressure due to narrowing of the arteries that carry blood to the kidneys. (adam.com)
- The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is the volume of filtrate produced by both kidneys each minute. (flashcardmachine.com)
- Thses mechanisms are needed to ensure that the GFR will be high enough to allow the kidneys to eliminate wastes and regulate blood pressure, but not so high as to cause excessive water loss. (flashcardmachine.com)
- Renal clearance refers to the ability of the kidneys to remove molecules from the blood plasma by excreting them in the urine. (flashcardmachine.com)
- This fact is used to measure the volume of blood plasma filtered per minute by the kidneys, or the GFR (glomerular filtration rate). (flashcardmachine.com)
- Angiotensin II also stimulates the production of aldosterone from the adrenal cortex, which causes the tubules of the kidneys to increase reabsorption of sodium, with water following, thereby increasing plasma volume, and thus also blood pressure. (standardofcare.com)
