Tutorial Eight-Renal System
4. Control of sodium ion concentration is essential in regulating blood pressure and sustaining
life. Outline the mechanism in which the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS)
works to maintain blood pressure. Consider the role of the liver, kidney, lungs and adrenal
glands and the various hormones. You may wish to construct a flow diagram, a concept
map or dot points which outline the key processes. Using your answer, explain why a
doctor might prescribe ACE inhibitors to an individual with high blood pressure.

If provided data showing weight changes over time, can you determine the type of solution that
must be inside the dialysis tubing and/or what type of environment it was placed into
(hypertonic, hypotonic, isotonic)?
