Answer 1

Renin–Angiotensin–Aldosterone

Explanation:

Its release is stimulated by prostaglandins and NO from the JGA in response to decreased extracellular fluid volume.

Answer 2

Answer:

The hormone that acts as a check on the renin-angiotensin mechanism is aldosterone.

Explanation:

• Aldosterone is the hormone released by the adrenal cortex of the adrenal gland.
• It is an important mineralocorticoid steroid hormone.
• Renin-angiotensin mechanism regulates blood pressure with the help of aldosterone.
• It is also important for maintaining fluid balance and Na-K (sodium-potassium) ion balance in the body.
• Aldosterone increases the reabsorption of salts and water from the kidney, hence helping in maintaining the fluid balance and regulating blood pressure.
