Q

The ALoH is constantly putting solute into the interstititium because

A

The ALoH is constantly putting solute into the interstititium because the vasa recta is constantly taking it out.

145
Q

____________: Condition in which Na+ and Cl- are not constantly resupplied to the interstitium leading to a persistant slight loss of osmolyte to vasa recta.
