A

98
Q

_____ + ____ = concentrated urine

A

High ADH + Hyperosmotic renal medulla

99
Q

Describe the process of the countercurrent mechanism

A
  1. There is only one place in the loop of Henle that is permeable to water: descending loop.
  2. Essentially, in the ascending loop, you just keep pumping solutes into the medulla (outside)
  3. When new filtrate flows into the descending loop, it pushes water out to dilute the medulla (outside)
  4. As this process repeats you are left with a hyperosmotic medulla, since water can only flow into the medulla at the descending loop.
  5. The entire time, the medulla cannot send solutes back into the loop. It is a one way street.
  6. The main solute that makes the medulla hyperosmotic is urea. (requires ADH)
100
Q

Medullary blood flow is very (fast/slow) so the solutes don’t flow away via ____

A

slow

blood

101
Q

Describe the role of the Vasa Recta in countercurrent multiplier

A

Because the medulla is so concentrated with solutes, some it flows into the Vasa Recta.
However, this makes it hyperosmotic as it continues to gain solute but lose water.
As it goes up the loop, the Vasa Recta is permeable to water unlike the loop of Henle, so it reabsorbs water and gets rid of solute (aka undoing what happened in the beginning).
This ensures that all the hard work of concentrating the medulla via the loop of Henle is not lost.
Blood gets hyperosmotic as it descends, but it is reversed as it ascends, so pretty much nothing changed and no solute is lost.

107
