Answer:

Angiotensin Polypeptide Hormone It is a blood polypeptide that produces vasoconstriction, increased blood pressure and release of aldosterone through the adrenal cortex.

Adrenal. Angiotensin II acts on the adrenal cortex, causing the release of aldosterone, a hormone that causes the kidneys to retain sodium and lose potassium.

Excess sodium in the blood can be caused by certain conditions. Specific causes of hypernatremia include: Dehydration or loss of body fluids from prolonged vomiting, diarrhea, sweating or high fever. Dehydration for not drinking enough water.
