Bauserman RAAS

What is the goal of the RAAS system?

• decrease blood pressure

• increase the heart rate

• increase the blood pressure

• decrease the heart rate

What is the role of ACE in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system?

• It activates angiotensinogen which turn into angiotensin I

• It causes the kidney cells to release renin

• It causes angiotensins II to triger the adrenal glands to produce aldosterone

• It converts angiotensin I into angiotensin II

What component of the RAAS system is created and found in the liver that is activated by renin?

• Aldosterone

• Angiotensin I

• Angiotensinogen

• Angiotensin II

Select all the roles of angiotensin II when it is activated in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system.

• Causes the release of ADH (antidiuretic hormone)

• Triggers the release of aldosterone

• Increases the blood volume

• Causes vasodilation

• Increases systemic vascular resistance

During RAAS activation, which gland releases aldosterone?

• Hypothalamus

• Thymus

• Adrenal cortex

• Pituitary

What is the role of aldosterone?

• It causes the constriction of vessels

• It causes the kidneys to keep sodium and water

• It causes the kidneys to keep potassium and water

• It causes the kidneys to only keep water

Select below the CORRECT sequence in how the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system works:

• Angiotensin I -> Angiotensin II -> ACE -> Renin -> Angiotensinogen

• Renin-> Angiotensinogen -> Angiotensin I -> ACE -> Angiotensin II

• Renin -> Angiotensin I -> Angiotensinogen -> ACE -> Angiotensin II

• Angiotensinogen -> Renin -> ACE -> Angiotensin I -> Angiotensin II
