Which of the following is an effect of renin-angiotensin mechanism?

a) Vasodilation.
b) Increase blood volume.
c) Decrease in blood pressure.
d) Decreased peripheral resistance.

Expert Solution

c) Increase blood volume

In renin angiotensin aldosterone mechanism the liver release angiotensinogen into circulation. Which causes low BP and changes the sodium concentration. So the renin will convert the angiotensinogen to angiotensin 1 and it is converted to angiotensin 2 by ACE inhibitor. The angiotensin 2 will cause vasoconstriction and increase BP and also the aldosterone will reabsorb the sodium and it will increase the volume of blood and increases the BP.

Which of the following would result in reduced blood volume and blood pressure? Dehydration Consumption of hard alcohol (a diuretic) Increased renin secretion by the granular cells Natriuresis as caused by elevated atrial natriuretic peptide levels Insertion of ENaC molecules into the apical side of the P cells Inhibition of angiotensin converting enzyme Increased angiotensinogen production but with no change in available renin. In the absence of ACE inhibition, increased ANG I production
