Let’s break down the RAAS system! It’s super simple and easy to understand!  So the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone-system is a complex pathway and regulatory system, that responds to decreased pressure and volume within the body. This system is important for blood pressure management but can be altered in chronic medical conditions. This system involves multiple organs and enzymes including the kidneys, liver, lungs, and heart.    I recommend taking a look below at this nephron to familiarize yourself with renal vocabulary.     SUBSCRIBE AND LEAVE A RATING ON ITUNES!!!
