Angiotensin receptors and regulation of fluid balance in the body along with sodium retention.
The glomerulus ...
The baroreceptors located in the walls of the arteries and veins are responsible for sensing changes in blood pressure. These receptors send signals to the brain to help regulate blood pressure levels in the body.
The left kidney functions similarly to the right kidney, filtering waste and excess fluids from the blood to form urine. It also helps regulate blood pressure, maintain electrolyte balance, and produce hormones that contribute to red blood cell production.

Renin: produced by the kidney to help regulate blood pressure by controlling the vascular tone and fluid balance. Erythropoietin: produced by the kidney to stimulate red blood cell production in the bone marrow. Calcitriol: the active form of vitamin D produced by the kidney, important for calcium absorption and bone health. Prostaglandins: locally produced in the kidney to regulate blood flow and filtration rate. Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP): released by the heart in response to high blood pressure, it acts on the kidneys to increase sodium excretion and decrease blood volume.

it can help by increasing reabsorption of water by the kidney. With the reabsorption, blood plasma volume increases, thus raising blood pressure

The apparatus is a microscopic structure in the kidney, the specific location of it helps to regulate the renal blood flow and filtration rate. It is regulated by secreting renin which activates the

The juxtaglomerular apparatus is responsible for regulating blood pressure and kidney function. It consists of specialized cells in the afferent arteriole and the distal convoluted tubule that sense changes in blood pressure and help regulate the secretion of renin, which plays a key role in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system.
The kidney plays a vital role in filtering waste and excess substances from the blood to form urine, regulating blood pressure, maintaining electrolyte balance, and producing hormones that help regulate red blood cell production and calcium metabolism.
The kidneys are the organs that directly regulate the concentration of water in the blood by filtering excess water and solutes from the blood to form urine. They also help maintain proper balance of electrolytes in the body by reabsorbing or excreting them as needed.
