Which is TRUE of the RAAS pathway? angiotensin Il directly leads to vasoconstriction and stimulates aldosterone which promotes Na+ reabsorption at the cortical collecting duct ANP stimulates the RAAS pathway, while ADH/vasopressin inhibits the RAAS pathway increased plasma volume directly puts extra pressure on the afferent arteriole and indirectly increases pressure in the distal tubule, both of which lead to stimulation of renin release angiotensin Il promotes activation of the parasympathetic system which decreases GFR low plasma Na+ is sensed by the proximal tubule and triggers release of renin from JGA cells
