Question:

What is the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone pathway?

Low blood pressure stimulates the kidneys to release renin. renin stimulates the production of angiotensin I. angiotensin I converts to angiotensin II in the lungs. angiotensin II stimulates the production aldosterone which causes vasoconstriction, increase blood volume and then increases blood pressure
