Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System How would peripheral resistance (vasoconstriction/vasodilation of blood vessels) respond to shock? Make sure to describe in depth how each chosen mechanism works and provide examples of how the mechanism raises and lowers blood pressure. Be sure to explain how the nervous system and/or hormones may play a role in the chosen mechanisms.
