[A] : The hormone aldosterone is secreted by adrenal cortex after the low Na^+ content in blood and the resultant low BP causes the kidney to release renin. [R]: Renin in blood leads to the formation of angiotensin II which causes adrenel cortex to release aldosterone that causes kidney to re- tain Na^+ and, therefore, water is reabsorbed and BP rises.
