The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system
The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system is dependent on ACE from the lungs to regulate blood pressure. ACE activity results in increased blood pressure.
This is a schematic diagram of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. It shows how the renin-angiotensin system is dependent on ACE from the lungs to regulate blood pressure. ACE converts angiotensin I into angiotensin II, which are two important hormones in the renin-angiotensin feedback loop of the renal system. ACE activity results in increased blood pressure.
