It helps to maintain the concentration of urine. It is highly permeable to water thus water is readily reabsorbed from the descending limb by osmosis. It is impermeable to sodium and chloride ions.
<h3>What is a Tubule system ?</h3>
The transverse tubular system is a network of interconnecting rings, each of which surrounds a myofibril
The nephron uses four mechanisms to convert blood into urine: filtration, reabsorption, secretion, and excretion. These apply to numerous substances
The distal convoluted tubule (DCT) and collecting duct (CD) are the final two segments of the kidney nephron. They have an important role in the absorption of many ions, and in water reabsorption.
The answer is D. in animal cells, the cell membrane allows materials in and out of the cell, while the mitochondria uses nutrients to make energy (ATP) for the cell.
The mass of an object is a measure of the amount of matter it contains. The weight of an object is a measure of the force exerted on the object by gravity, or the force needed to support it. Mass does not change with gravity as weight does due to the act of pulling down on an object making it in fact heavier.
