Interstitial

... fluid in the collecting duct passes through the hyperosmotic region of the kidney medulla, water diffuses through the pores into the surounding interstitial fluid and is carried away by the blood circulation. The urine looses water and become more concentrated. Given this sequence of events ...

... descends the loop of henle it loses water to the vasa recta, causing its concentration to rise to meet the very hypertonic osmolarity of the interstitial fluids in the renal medulla (so it gets concentrated and stays that way). In the ascending loop the membrane is impermeable so water cannot ...

... someone can help me :) hopefully I really didnt get my grips with the Loop of henle what is its purpose? is it to maintain osmolality of the interstitial fluid of the medulla, so that they are kinda exchanging salts and water and is that the purpose of urea, to go into the medulla to maintain ...

... the walls are impermeable, so the high concentration of solutes in the Loop is maintained despite the increasing concentration of water in the interstitial space around it. However it also has many active channels for taking up the sodium, potassium and others to increase the concentration ...

... of water and could cause all of the following EXCEPT? A) An initial decrease in blood osmolarity followed by osmotic transport of water into the interstitial fluid compartment B) An initial increase in urine output C) Osmotic transport of fluid from the ECF into the ICF compartment D) An increase ...
