Blood pressure drops
2)Sympathetic Nervous system is activated
3)Juxtaglomerular (JG) cells are activated and release renin
4) Angiotensinogen released by the liver
5) Then converted to Angiotensin 1
6) ACE system converts AG1 to Angiotensin 2
7) Vasoconstriction
Kidneys keep Na+ and H20
Adrenal cortex releases Aldosterone to keep Na+ and H20
Post Pituitary gland releases ADH
