<TR>
<TD>Which hormone is excreted by the juxtaglomerular cells in response to a fall in blood pressure?</TD>
<TD>
<FONT COLOR="#FFFFFF">Renin</FONT></TD>
<TD>[[Renin Angiotensin Aldosterone System|Link]]</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>What does ACE do?</TD>
<TD>
<FONT COLOR="#FFFFFF">Converts angiotensin 1 to angiotensin 2</FONT></TD>
<TD>[[Renin Angiotensin Aldosterone System#|Link]]</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>Which receptors does angiotensin 2 act on to cause the release of aldosterone?</TD>
<TD>
<FONT COLOR="#FFFFFF">
AT1</FONT></TD>
<TD>[[Renin Angiotensin Aldosterone System|Link]]</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>How does angiotensin 2 effect GFR?</TD>
<TD>
<FONT COLOR="#FFFFFF">
Contracts the efferent arteriole to increase GFR when blood pressure drops</FONT></TD>
<TD>[[Renin Angiotensin Aldosterone System#Effects of Angiotensin 2 on GFR|Link]]</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>What three things stimulate the release of aldosterone?</TD>
<TD>
<FONT COLOR="#FFFFFF">
* Corticotropin (ACTH)
* Angiotensin 2
* K<sup>+</sup></FONT></TD>
<TD>[[Aldosterone#Release|Link]]</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>What are its effects on sodium?</TD>
<TD>
<FONT COLOR="#FFFFFF">Increases the reabsorption of sodium from the distal tubule and collecting duct</FONT></TD>
<TD>[[Aldosterone#Action|Link]]</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>How does it achieve these effects?</TD>
<TD>
<FONT COLOR="#FFFFFF">Increases the synthesis of sodium transporters and increases the supply of ATP to them by altering gene transcription</FONT></TD>
<TD>[[Aldosterone#Action|Link]]</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>Where is atrial natriutretic peptide secreted from?</TD>
<TD>
<FONT COLOR="#FFFFFF">Atrial walls</FONT></TD>
<TD>[[Atrial Natriuretic Peptide|Link]]</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>Whats it's effect?</TD>
<TD>
<FONT COLOR="#FFFFFF">Increases the excretion of water by reducing the reuptake of sodium.</FONT></TD>
