Renin–Angiotensin–Aldosterone System (RAAS)

The JG cells detect crisis through three eyes: Baroreceptor eye → senses renal arterial pressure. Chemoreceptor eye (Macula densa) → monitors sodium chloride in distal tubule. Nerve eye → listens to sympathetic nerves releasing norepinephrine. When all scream “low!”, they release Renin. Note that Renin is not a hormone — it’s an enzyme. It cleaves angiotensinogen into action.
