Which pathway is represented in the following diagram? Correct Answer Renin angiotensin aldosterone pathway
The pathway represented in the above diagram is renin angiotensin aldosterone pathway. The initial stimuli for this pathway is dehydration which leads to decrease in blood volume and blood pressure. This stimulates the juxtaglomerular cells secrete renin which converts angiotensin to angiotensin I. ACE converts to angiotensin I to angiotensin II. Thus increases its level. This increase stimulates adrenal cortex to secrete aldosterone. This leads to reabsorption of water and sodium which increase blood volume and BP raises to normal.
