The high osmolarity of the renal medulla is maintained by all of the following except a. active transport of salt from the upper region of the ascending limb. b. the spatial arrangement of juxtamedullary nephrons. c. diffusion of urea from the collecting duct. d. diffusion of salt from the descending limb of the loop of Henle.

Hello, everyone here We have a question asking which of the following results from a counter current mechanism A vertical osmotic gradient in the renal medulla. Be vertical osmotic gradient in the renal cortex. See formation of concentrated urine, or D, both A and C. The loops of henley of just medullary net franz and Visa wreck to largely are responsible for developing the vertical osmotic gradient in the renal medulla and concentrates urine. So our answer here is D. Both A and C. Thank you for watching. Bye.
