Q

Hyperosmotic urine is produced when circulating _____ levels are high

A

ADH

31
Q

Gradient of osmolarity from the cortex to the papilla. Composed primarily of NaCl and urea. Established by countercurrent multiplication and urea recycling. Maintained by countercurrent exchange in the vasa recta

A

Corticopapillary osmotic gradient

32
Q

Gradient of osmolarity from the cortex to the papilla. Composed primarily of NaCl and urea. Established by countercurrent multiplication and urea recycling. Maintained by countercurrent exchange in the vasa recta

A

Corticopapillary osmotic gradient

33
Q

Countercurrent multiplication in the loop of henle is dependent on?

A

NaCl reabsorption in the thick ascending limb and countercurrent flow in the descending and ascending limbs of the loop of Henle

(It is augmented by ADH which stimulates NaCl reabsorption in the thick ascending limb)

34
Q

The presence of ADH ______ the size of the corticopapillary osmotic gradient

A

Increases

35
Q

The capillaries that supply the loop of henle

A

Vasa recta

36
