De la Renina a la Aldosterona. La Cascada que lo controla todo. RAAS y la presion arterial

Greetings to all my subscribers and channel members, as well as to everyone who watches and values ​​the channel. Following up on the topics we've been covering about the renal system, today we'll delve a little deeper into how the kidney controls volume and pressure in the long term. Of course, this always works with baroreceptors and lobes located in the peripheral arteries. In the nephron, as we've studied, there's the juxtaglomerular system, which has components responsible for detecting variations in volume and pressure, as well as urine quality. It triggers hormones (renin) to initiate a mechanism for the secretion of angiotensin I and II, which ultimately help the adrenal gland release aldosterone. Aldosterone then goes to the kidney to retain sodium and water, associated with ADH, and finally helps control blood pressure. We also mentioned atrial natriuretic peptide, which inhibits the production of renin and ADH. We invite you to...
