Kidney Hormones Regulate Blood Pressure. Renin converts angiotensinogen which is produced in the liver to the hormone angiotensin i. The actions taken by the kidney to regulate blood pressure are especially important during traumatic injury when they are necessary to maintain blood pressure and conserve the loss of fluids.
The actions taken by the kidney to regulate blood pressure are especially important during traumatic injury when they are necessary to maintain blood pressure and conserve the loss of fluids. The renin angiotensin system or ras regulates blood pressure and fluid balance in the body. It is produced in the lungs but binds to the surfaces of endothelial cells in the afferent arterioles and glomerulus.
The renin angiotensin system or ras regulates blood pressure and fluid balance in the body.
As the cardiovascular physiology concepts site explains this function is performed by special renal cells known as the juxtaglomerular cells. Your body stores calcium in the bones but also maintains a constant level of calcium in the blood. The kidneys also regulate blood pressure hormonally. In response to rising blood pressure the juxtaglomerular cells in the kidneys secrete renin into the blood.
