Chapter 49.3, Problem 2BC
Summary Introduction
To determine: The special property of epithelial cells that is demonstrated by their multiple responses to aldosterone.
Introduction: Epithelial membrane is the membrane that is present on the outermost surface of all the different organs of the body and in blood vessels. The epithelium is usually made up of squamous, cuboidal or columnar cells. In the excretory system, transport, selective absorption and secretion are the main functions of the epithelial cells.

- Physiology of angiotensin II in humans Angiotensin I is enzymatically converted to angiotensin II by ACE. Angiotensinogen II acts on the adrenal cortex to cause the release of storage vesicles containing aldosterone. Angiotensin II is a peptide hormone that is made in advance and stored in vesicles.

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.arrow_forward
