In the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone mechanism, __________ . a. decreased blood pressure prompts the release of renin from the liver b. aldosterone prompts increased urine output c. aldosterone prompts the kidneys to reabsorb sodium d. all of the above
A decrease in blood pressure causes the release of renin, ultimately causing the adrenal cortex to release aldosterone.

Which of the following is an example of autoregulation of kidney function? a. The RAAS regulates Na " by secreting renin when blood pressure or blood volume decreases. b. The ADH system regulates water balance by decreasing water reabsorption and increasing excretion of salt. c. Receptors in the juxtaglomerular apparatus of the distal convoluted tubule detect drops in blood pressure and cause a higher filtration rate. d. ANF is released by the kidney to increase renin release. e. Angiotensin lowers blood pressure by constricting arterioles.
