    This diagram outlines the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), which regulates blood pressure and fluid balance. When blood pressure or sodium delivery to the kidneys decreases, the juxtaglomerular apparatus in the kidneys releases renin which triggers a cascade leading to angiotensin II and aldosterone production. Angiotensin II causes vasoconstriction and sodium reabsorption while aldosterone increases sodium and water reabsorption, helping to increase blood volume and pressure.
