| Description: On the left, the diagram starts at the liver. An arrow labeled constantly produces points to angiotensinogen in plasma. On the right, the diagram starts at the kidney. An arrow labeled produced in response to low B P points to another arrow labeled resin. This arrow joins with the arrow from the angiotensinogen in plasma and they both point to angiotensin 1 in plasma. From the left from a blood vessel epithelium joins an arrow labeled angiotensin converting enzyme. This points to angiotensin 2 in plasma. This divides into two paths. One path leads to vasoconstriction of arterioles, which leads to increased blood pressure. The other path leads to aldosterone. From the right the adrenal cortex also points to aldosterone, which leads to increased sodium reabsorption in the kidneys, which leads to increased blood pressure.
