Question:

Elaborate on the role of angiotensin in the regulation of blood pressure and fluid balance.

Answer:

Angiotensin is a hormone involved in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) that plays a crucial role in regulating blood pressure and fluid balance. It constricts blood vessels, stimulates aldosterone release, and enhances sodium and water reabsorption in the kidneys, contributing to blood pressure maintenance.
