PHYSIOLOGY OF THE URINARY SYSTEM - Reabsorption in the loop of Henle

Question 1

Where is water reabsorbed from?

Answer 1

the tubule fluid

Question 2

What is picked up from the interstitial fluid in the descending limb?

Answer 2

urea

Question 3

What are reabsorbed from the filtrate in the ascending limb?

Answer 3

Sodium and chloride

Question 4

True / False Sodium and chloride are reabsorbed from the filtrate in the descending limb, where the reabsorption of salt makes the tubule fluid dilute and creates and maintains a low osmotic pressure of the medulla’s interstitial fluid

Answer 4

false

Sodium and chloride are reabsorbed from the filtrate in the ASCENDING limb, where the reabsorption of salt makes the tubule fluid dilute and creates and maintains a HIGH osmotic pressure of the medulla’s interstitial fluid
