Question
Chapter 21.3, Problem 8CYU
Summary Introduction
To review:
The location of angiotensin-converting enzyme and the justification for the presence of enzyme in this location. Also, the name of blood-pressure increasing hormone cascade, to which the enzyme belongs.
Introduction:
The blood pressure can be regulated by both, short-term and long-term changes. Short-term regulation involves hormones that change the peripheral resistance and cardiac output by constriction or dilation of blood vessels. On the other hand, long-term changes involve renal mechanisms that mainly control the blood volume to maintain blood pressure.
