Renin Angiotensin Aldosterone System (RAAS) - Physiology

Renin Angiotensin Aldosterone System (RAAS), Plasma Renin Activity (PRA) Assay…What is renin? Why is renin elevated? Primary Hyperaldosteronism, Secondary Hyperaldosteronism. Renin is released by the juxtaglomerular cells (JGC) of the kidney. Renin converts angiotensionogen to angiotensin I (AT I). Angiotensin I is converted to angiotensin II (AT II) by angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE). AT II orders the zona glomerulosa of the adrenal cortex to release aldosterone. Aldosterone promotes renal absorption of sodium and water while enhancing the secretion of potassium and hydrogen ions. 💊🦠 Antibiotics Course: https://www.medicosisperfectionalis.c... 💦 🐳 Kidney Physiology Course: https://www.medicosisperfectionalis.c... 🤰 ObGyn Highyields Course: https://www.medicosisperfectionalis.com/ 🚨 Emergency Medicine HighYields Course: https://www.medicosisperfectionalis.com/ 😷 Surgery HighYields Course: https://www.medicosisperfectionalis.com/ 💊 📛 Toxicology Course: https://www.medicosisperfectionalis.com/ ❤️ Cardiac Pharmacology Course: https://www.medicosisperfectionalis.com/ 🧪Acid-Base Course: https://www.medicosisperfectionalis.c... 🧠 Autonomic Pharmacology Course: www.medicosisperfectionalis.com/ 🧪 Electrolytes Course: https://www.medicosisperfectionalis.com/ 🍱 Endocrine Pharmacology Course: https://www.medicosisperfectionalis.c... 🧠 CNS Pharmacology Course: https://www.medicosisperfectionalis.com/ 💊 General Pharmacology (Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics): https://www.medicosisperfectionalis.com/ 📝 Download my handwritten notes: www.medicosisperfectionalis.com/ ⁉️ Questions and Answers: https://www.medicosisperfectionalis.com/ 🗳 Complete the Survey: https://airtable.com/shrYWjvabooT7DrcG 🎁Free Stuff: https://www.medicosisperfectionalis.com/ 💊 Pharmacology Lectures: https://www.medicosisperfectionalis.com/ YouTube PLAYLISTS: ► 🧠 Physiology Playlist:    • Physiology Introduction - What is Physiolo...   🧫 🦠 Microbiology and Infectious Diseases Playlist:    • Microbiology & Infectious Diseases   ► 🩸 Hematology videos:    • Hematology   ► 💪 Rheumatology:    • Rheumatology   ► ❤️ Cardiac Pharmacology:    • Cardiac Pharmacology   ► Biochemistry 🧪 :    • Biochemistry -  MCAT, DAT, PCAT, NEET, Pre...   ► 🙌 Support me on cash app: https://cash.app/$medicosis/ ► Support me on Stripe: https://donate.stripe.com/3cs02Hb9ca2... ► 😍 Support me on Patreon:   / medicosis   ► Support me on Venmo: Venmo: https://venmo.com/medicosis ► 🥰 Support me on PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/perfectionalis/ ► ☕️ Buy me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/medicosis/ ► 😚 Join my Channel on YouTube:    / @medicosisperfectionalis   --If you’ve joined my channel on youtube (the join button that's next to the subscribe button), then go to the "membership tab" and you will find some member-only posts/videos. ► 👨‍🏫 All of my premium courses are ON SALE: https://www.medicosisperfectionalis.com/ 📚 Recommended Books: https://www.amazon.com/shop/medicosis... ► ❓If you have any questions, please email me at: [email protected] 🗳 Complete the Survey: https://airtable.com/shrYWjvabooT7DrcG/ ►Website: https://www.medicosisperfectionalis.com/ ►Patreon:   / medicosis   ►YouTube:    / medicosisperfectionalis   or: ► Like my page on Facebook   / medicosis   ►Follow us on Instagram here:   / medicosisperfectionalis   ►PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/perfectionalis/ ►Venmo: @medicosis ►Facebook:   / medicosis   ►Twitter:   / medicosis   ►SoundCloud:   / medicosis   ►TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@medicosisp/ ►LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/medicosis-perfectionalis-873886197/ ►Snapchat:   / medicosis   ►Pinterest:   / medicosisperfectionalis   ►Rumble: https://rumble.com/user/MedicosisPerf... ► Tumblr:   / medicosis   Thank you so much for supporting my channel!
