Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System

sciencewithsusanna.com has diagrams, notes, and a link to Quizlet flashcards: quizlet.com/_6jgp7u
The kidneys sense low blood pressure and low blood volume and release an enzyme called Renin. Renin converts angiotensinogen (a plasma protein made by the liver) into angiotensin I.
Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) converts angiotensin I into angiotensin II.
Angiotensin II has three main effects:
1. constricts arterioles to raise blood pressure.
2. stimulates the adrenal cortex to release aldosterone. Aldosterone then causes the kidneys to reabsorb more salt. This causes water to be retained and increases blood volume and thus blood pressure.
3. stimulates the posterior pituitary gland to release antidiuretic hormone, also known as vasopressin. Vasopressin causes the kidneys to retain more water, which raises blood volume and therefore raises blood pressure.
Drug Targets to Lower Blood Pressure in RAAS:
1. ACE inhibitors block ACE action
2. ARA (angiotensin receptor antagonists) block Angiotensin II from binding its targets
3. Aldo Antagonists
4. Vaptans inhibit vasopressin
5. Renin inhibitors

I worked as an educator for 15 years. This simple graph is the best i had ever seen. Thank you, Cintia NP

[@reley6392]

Thank you so much because I was completely lost today, I have been watching your videos for the past two years. You are truly amazing

[@Thrive4greatness777]

Professor Heinze, I want to thank you for helping me pass my TEAS test. Your videos were very helpful. I am now using them to refresh my memory for nursing school. Thank you so very much for being so awesome and sharing your knowledge with us freely!

[@chelalmercy970]

I can never thank you enough for your videos. I binged watched them as a refresher before I took my TEAS and my results did not disappoint. I got a 93.6 percent on my science section and 94% overall! Thank you so much for your videos and I would recommend everyone to watch you!! Thank you!! thank you!!

[@steezmonster92]

I love this. It's been a while since I've learned this and the way you diagrammed everything and prepared us it was just perfect. Bravo to skilled teaching.

[@foreverwood1963]

I spent nearly 35 years in the medical field this popped up and I decided to check it out. Although I remember all this I must say you did an excellent job at explaining it. Your illustrations are very good.

[@mollymartinez83]

OMG best I've seen so far and I love that you included the medications. I am a very visual person and this just breaks it up very neatly and easy to understand. Thank you so much!!!!!!!

[@JH-lk2wx]

You are helping so many nursing students!! I am so thankful to you!

[@joshuabanham585]

I have to have seen a thousand videos about this each were useless then i watch this and its like i've known this concept my whole life. Thank you!

[@pebabmey]

This was so helpful! My ap bio teacher made a chart for this whole process, but it was a lot less clear than your video. I really appreciate your color coding and your clearness when explaining concepts.

[@jenniferaguila397]

Thank you susanna! Your videos are helping me prepare for the teas! You've been a life saver for this kind of stuff

[@rezelpabu-aya1399]

Thank you so much, Professor Heinze. I love the way you discuss every detail.

[@coolbeans6175]

Love it! Your videos are concise, focused and best refresher I have had in years. 1 request- Can you also add MRA/ARNI/SGLT2 inhib into this chart, as well? That would be fantastic and up today with current guidelines.

[@huss112ify]
