When the plasma sodium concentration is lower than normal or the renal blood flow is reduced, the juxtaglomerular cells in the kidneys convert prorenin (an intracellular protein) into renin, which is then secreted directly into the circulation. Plasma renin then cuts a short, 10 amino acid long, peptide off a plasma protein known as angiotensinogen. The short peptide is known as angiotensin I.[2] Angiotensin I is then converted, by the removal of 2 amino acids, to form an octapeptide known as angiotensin II, by the enzyme angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) found in the lung capillaries. Angiotensin II is a potent vaso-active peptide that causes arterioles to constrict, resulting in increased arterial blood pressure.[3] Angiotensin II also stimulates the secretion of the hormone aldosterone from the adrenal cortex.[3] Aldosterone causes the tubular epithelial cells of the kidneys to increase the reabsorption of sodium ions from the tubular fluid back into the blood, while at the same time causing them to excrete potassium ions into the tubular fluid which will become urine.

Renin-angiotensin system, physiological system that regulates blood pressure
Renin is an enzyme secreted into the blood from specialized cells that encircle the arterioles at the entrance to the glomeruli of the kidneys (the renal capillary networks that are the filtration units of the kidney). The renin-secreting cells, which compose the juxtaglomerular apparatus, are sensitive to changes in blood flow and blood pressure. The primary stimulus for increased renin secretion is decreased blood flow to the kidneys, which may be caused by loss of sodium and water (as a result of diarrhea, persistent vomiting, or excessive perspiration) or by narrowing of a renal artery. Renin catalyzes the conversion of a plasma protein called angiotensinogen into a decapeptide (consisting of 10 amino acids) called angiotensin I. An enzyme in the serum called angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) then converts angiotensin I into an octapeptide (consisting of eight amino acids) called angiotensin II. Angiotensin II acts via receptors in the adrenal glands to stimulate the secretion of aldosterone, which stimulates salt and water reabsorption by the kidneys, and the constriction of small arteries (arterioles), which causes an increase in blood pressure. Angiotensin II further constricts blood vessels through its inhibitory actions on the reuptake into nerve terminals of the hormone norepinephrine.

You have one of the clearest, yet well developed videos regarding this topic. I appreciate your good work

[@germanhernandez4130]

Cheers for this, I been tryin to find out about "kidney failure in the elderly prognosis" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Aenarter Uncomplicated Assistance - (just google it ) ? It is an awesome exclusive product for discovering how to help your kidney function without the headache. Ive heard some great things about it and my neighbour got great results with it.

[@Salman-ck5jw]

Best factor about this video: no unnecessary information _ VERY CONCISE AND TO THE POINT! So many other videos are more full of BS!

[@Jmont.]

This Helped me sooooo much. I loved how clear everything was layed out. Very east to follow and I understood everything that was presented. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.

[@tammai5819]

This is so underrated!! Amazing videos and you should definitely make more!!

[@B3bita1215]

I am grateful for this video. ONE MINOR CORRECTION though. Angiotensin II (MAINLY acts of the EFFERENT arterioles) although angiotensin II constrict both, AAAfferent and EEEfferent, it preferentially constrict Efferent arterioles. One way I remember the mechanism of action of ACE inhibitors, is by remembering "A"-->Angiotensin II "C"--> constrict "E"--> Efferent. Other than that, Thank you very much for this easy to grasp explanation. Have a lovely day! :)

[@tasmiullah6325]

Well you have also a good concept Thank you for correcting

[@MidlifeCrisisTactical]

Thank You! It's so hard to find content that's clear and to the point. THANK YOU THANK YOU

[@RuthAdora]

Very well done MEDSimplified ! Great stuff. Looking forward to more.

[@yvonnemccann9330]

One of the best videos I’ve seen on the RAAS thank you

[@maverickcryptanalyst2204]

U are totally underrated !!! U deserve a lot more Excellent work by the way.

[@isabellearrowood210]

Wow thank u so much for that elaborate, yet easy explanation. I was curious to know about renin aldosterone pathway, since I learnt very briefly about it in school, this lesson made it all very clear for me. Thanks again:))

[@aneekaak]

I’ve been trying to understand this system for forever. Thank you!

[@juanzilla6436]

Taking pharmacology at the moment and with this video and a few others I watched on ANS I just realized KZbin will be my best friend these days lmao very well explained, short and to the point, I absolutely loved this video and I am so happy to come across it. I'd give it a million likes if it wasn't because I can only give 1 😂 . Mad respect and admiration to all the people who make educational vids for ease of understanding.

[@al-ew5rp]

Sir thank you so much for helping me ! Your explanation is 1000000X better than my Endocrine subject lecturer. May god bless you.

[@taylora7802]

ive been trying to understand this for months.... and it finally makes sense!!

[@caitygart]

Thank you, this was such a short and sweet video which contained everything I needed to know about the R.A.A.S. system. Cheers !

[@kabirchoudhary7062]

Hey !

[@charleyp5301]

THANK YOU. That was way easier to follow than other descriptions I read.

[@otto9875]

Ang 2 constricts Efferent Arterioles, not afferent. Which increases the Pgc hydrostatic pressure resulting in more squeezing of the sponge (glomerulus) increasing GFR.

[@chamikakavindi8344]

We want more videos from your channel according to the physiology.some topics in physiology are very difficult to understand.. And thank you for your teaching :-)

[@deeptikamble1791]

Too helpful. Thank you 😊

[@medicalhub301]

thank you sir ,in a short time spain you teach us very more.keep it up good job

[@leighfountain1800]

Doesn't angiotensin II constrict the Efferent (not afferent) arteriole and increase (not decrease) GFR though
