What is the enzyme located in the walls of the capillaries in lungs that converts angiotensin I into angiotensin II?

ACE (angiotensin converting enzyme)

Angiotensin II does what three things to increase water in the body:

Only one we have to lower BP


To lower BP it is going to dilate aff art and const eff art so we will increase GF to get rid of more water but are now at risk for losing electrolytes. inhibits angiotensin aldost, and ADH, inhibits Na and Cl reabsorption so more Na will stay and H2o will stay and get rid of fluid vol to lower bp

PTH

released when blood calc levels are low causing ca reabsorption in DCT, increase phosphate excretion in order to Ca binds with phosphate and becomes hydroxyappetite crystals of inorganic matrix which gets laid down to mineralize bone so if we get rid of phosphate, Ca has nothing to bind to so we get rid of it in the blood stream
