Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The kidneys release renin in order to initiate the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), which ultimately results in the conversion of angiotensinogen into angiotensin II. This hormone then causes vasoconstriction and increases blood pressure. The release of ADH is regulated by the hypothalamus and released by the posterior pituitary gland in response to changes in blood volume and pressure, but it is not directly related to the release of renin.
