Question
Chapter 21.3, Problem 8CYU
Summary Introduction
To review:
The location of angiotensin-converting enzyme and the justification for the presence of enzyme in this location. Also, the name of blood-pressure increasing hormone cascade, to which the enzyme belongs.
Introduction:
The blood pressure can be regulated by both, short-term and long-term changes. Short-term regulation involves hormones that change the peripheral resistance and cardiac output by constriction or dilation of blood vessels. On the other hand, long-term changes involve renal mechanisms that mainly control the blood volume to maintain blood pressure.

Name the enzyme that catalyses the formation of carbonic acid in erythtocytes.
Describe at least two mechanisms by which angiotensin II targets the kidneys to increase extracellular fluid volume and, therefore, increase blood pressure.
How does the hormone Angiotensin II affect MAP? Select only one answer.
1) it increases CO by increasing HR and SV
2) it decreases MAP by causing systemic vasodilation
3) it increases MAP by stimulating the kidneys to retain Na+ and therefore water which increases blood volume and therefore MAP
4) it increases MAP by causing rapid vasoconstriction
