What else can I help you with?
Is renin a hormone or enzyme?
Renin is an enzyme, not a hormone.
What difference between renin and rennin?
Rennin : It is an enzyme (protein) secreted by kidneys to regulate the blood pressure. It's a digestive enzyme in gastric juice. Renin :It is a hormone.
During compensated shock production of all what hormones increases except?
During compensated shock production of the hormone renin does not increase. Other hormones increase, but renin does not, so it would be the correct answer.
What hormone would increase in the blood during dehydration?
Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH). • ADH helps to avoid dehydration or water overload - prevents urine formation
What is a hormone that is a potent vasoconstrictor and that stimulates secretion of aldosterone?
Renin which causes the production of Angiotensin which ultimately is converted into Angiotensin II.
What hormones from the endocrine system influence the cardiovascular system?
Directly the thyroid hormone and epinephrine and indirectly many others like renin, cortisol, aldosterone...
What enzyme is released by the juxtaglomerular cells?
Renin is the enzyme released by juxtaglomerular cells. It plays a key role in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, which helps regulate blood pressure and fluid balance in the body.
What is the primary chemical affected by the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system?
The primary chemical affected by the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system is angiotensin II. This hormone is involved in regulating blood pressure and electrolyte balance by causing vasoconstriction and stimulating the release of aldosterone from the adrenal glands.
What substance performs the function of renin to the adults?
Renin.
What hormone promotes the reabsorbtion of sodium and potassium ions by the kidney?
When the macula densa in the distal tubules of the kidney sense a decrease in fluid volume, the renin-aldosterone system is activated. Aldosterone is the hormone responsible for sodium retention, causing water to be conserved.
The enzyme that converts angiotensinogen into antiotensin you is?
Renin is the enzyme that converts angiotensinogen into angiotensin I in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system.
What is the direct action of atrial natriuretic hormone?
Atrial natriuretic hormone promotes natriuresis and diuresis, which helps to reduce blood volume and blood pressure. It also inhibits the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, leading to vasodilation and decreased sodium reabsorption.
