Angiotensin II plays a crucial role in regulating blood pressure by constricting blood vessels, which directly affects blood pressure maintenance. It also promotes sodium retention in the kidneys, which helps maintain sodium levels in the blood, and indirectly influences water retention, thereby balancing water in the plasma.
