GABA is a neurotransmitter, it is the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter of the nervous system
In a state of emergency, your body automatically releases adrenalin from your adrenal glands, which act like a "fight or flight" reaction giving you a quick boost in energy and movement. Like in an earthquake, you are usually startled and move because natural instincts tell you to move or run. Adrenaline is a rush, without the rush, you probably would just stand there, and take longer to think. This way with a release of adrenaline, your body doesn't need time to think, it just does. Hope that helped.

What drug blocks the effects of aldosterone?
Caffeine binds to aldosterone sites and thus causes an increase of aldosterone in the blood. This increase causes sodium re-absorption and potassium excretion. Sodium excites nerves as potassium relaxes them. This is why one looses their nerve with too much caffeine.

Do the kidneys affect angiotensin II?
Certain kidney disorders increase the production of angiotensin II, another cause of hypertension
Dehydration causes a decrease in blood volume and pressure, which decreases GFR. The JG cells of the juxtaglomerular apparatus sense decreased stretch and macula densa cells sense decreased water. The JG cells secrete renin which converts angiotensinogen in blood to angiotensin I. The latter is converted to angiotensin II by ACE in the lungs. Angiotensin II causes constriction of efferent arterioles, increased thirst, greater ADH secretion from the posterior pituitary and increased secretion of aldosterone from the adrenal corted. Blood volume is increased, which increases venous return, stroke volume, cardiac output, and BP
