In the kidneys, the countercurrent mechanism involves the interaction between the flow of filtrate through the loop of Henle of

the juxtamedullary nephrons (the countercurrent multiplier) and the flow of blood through the limbs of adjacent blood vessels (the countercurrent exchanger). This relationship establishes and maintains an osmotic gradient extending from the cortex through the depths of the medulla that allows the kidneys to vary urine concentration dramatically.

The ileum contains ________ that project into the lumen and increase the amount of surface area.
Ivanshal [37]

The ileum contains villi that project into the lumen and increase the amount of surface area.

Villi are small finger-like structures that project into the lumen of the small intestine. Villi increase the surface area of the intestinal walls for easy and quick absorption of digested food with the addition of digestive secretions. Villi vary in length from about 0.5 to 1 mm. They are usually found in large numbers at the beginning of the small intestine and they reduce toward the end of the tract.
