Hello and welcome to the Zero to Finals podcast.

My name is Tom and in this episode I'm going to be going through questions on the Renin-Angiotensin-Alostrone system.

And you can find written notes on this topic at zero to finals.com slash renin angiotensin

aldosterone system. And you can find these questions in a short answer format and an anki-like

flashcard format at members.0.0.0.com. So you can complete spaced repetitions based on the question

difficulty and really train these facts into your memory long term. That's at members.0.0.0.com.

So let's get straight into it. Question one. What are the five basic structures of the nephrons in the kidneys?

The glomerulus, the proximal tubule, the loop of Henley, the distal tubial and the collecting duct.

Question 2. Which blood vessels directly deliver blood into and out of the glomerulus in the kidneys.

The aferent arterials bring blood into the glomerulus,

and the efferent arterials drain blood out of the glomerulus. Question 3.

Which cells sense blood pressure in the kidneys?

The juxta glomerulis cells.

Where are these cells found?

In the aphorant arterials, what do they release in greater

amounts when they sense a lower blood pressure?

Rennin. Question 4.

Describe the steps and the enzymes that are involved in the renin angiotensin aldosterone system from angiotensinogen to angiotensin 1 angiotensinogen to angiotensin 1, angiotensin converting enzyme converts angiotensin 1 to angiotensin 2,

and angiotensin 2 stimulates the release of aldosterone.

Question 5.

What are the three main effects of angiotensin 2?

Vesoconstriction, hypertrophy or thickening and remodeling of the heart and the blood vessels,
