Compensatory mechanism for hypotension correct answers-If blood volume decreases, the kidneys
secrete the enzyme Renin in the blood
-Renin acts on certain blood proteins to produce angiotensin 1
-Angiotensin 1 is converted to Angiotensin 2 by angiotensin-converting enzymes from the lungs
-Angiotensin 2 acts directly on blood vessels, causing them to constrict, increasing resistance to blood
flow in the peripheral vessels.
-Angiotensin 2 also stimulates the adrenal gland to release aldosterone, causing Na and water retention
by the renal tubules. The retained sodium and water increase the blood volume causing elevated blood
pressure.
