Detailed Solution

Angiotensin II causes vasoconstriction and stimulates the adrenal cortex to secrete aldosterone, a hormone that increases reabsorption of Na+ and water by the kidneys. The increases in systemic vascular resistance and blood volume help raise blood pressure. Urine formation is reduced due to increased levels of aldosterone and antidiuretic hormone (ADH).

ADH enhances water reabsorption by the kidneys. It also causes vasoconstriction, which increases blood pressure.
