Blood pressure regulation

The Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System (RAAS) is a chief factor in the regulation of blood pressure and water-electrolyte balance within the body on a long-term basis. In response to decreased renal blood flow, the main three hormones (renin, angiotensin II, and aldosterone) are responsible for the elevation of arterial blood pressure. It provides a dynamic balance to maintain the homeostasis of the circulatory system.
