Letâs pretend there are 1,000 Blue Whales in the Ocean (their actual numbers are estimated at 1,500), and the net-worth of all businesses relying on Blue Whales for their income is $100 Million, probably a gross underestimation, but it simplifies our math.o be fair, the Whaling company owes the Whale-Watchers and Documentarians $100,000 for harvesting the one whale. This leaves 999 whales in the Ocean, meaning the next whale they harvest should require them to pay $100,100 to those businesses they are hurting.
The reninâangiotensin system (RAS) or the reninâangiotensinâaldosterone system (RAAS) is a hormone system that regulates blood pressure and fluid balance.ngiotensin II also stimulates the secretion of the hormone aldosterone from the adrenal cortex. Aldosterone causes the tubules of the kidneys to increase the reabsorption of sodium and water into the blood, while at the same time causing the excretion of potassium (to maintain electrochemical balance).
Angiotensin is a peptide hormone that causes vasoconstriction and a subsequent increase in blood pressure. It is part of the renin-angiotensin system, which is a major target for drugs that lower blood pressure. Angiotensin also stimulates the release of aldosterone, another hormone, from the adrenal cortex.
