Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) promotes sodium and water reabsorption, which helps to increase blood volume and blood pressure. It also facilitates potassium excretion, as aldosterone promotes sodium reabsorption in exchange for potassium in the distal tubules and collecting ducts of the kidneys. RAAS does not cause arterial vasodilation; instead, it leads to vasoconstriction, which is opposite to the effect listed in option E.
