Filtrate becomes less concentrated as it flows down the medullary collecting ducts, toward the renal pelvis.

Biology
1 answer:
Volgvan3 years ago

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

Medullary collecting ducts courses down from the cortex through the hypertonic medulla before joining the collecting tubules from other nephrons to form a single ureter in each kidney.

It is the principle site of action for ADH (antidiuretic hormone) which stimulates the expression of water channel protien, aquaporin-2 in the cell membrane. ADH causes reabsorption of the water through these channels thus resulting in increased concentration of the filtrate.

Hence, the statement filtrate becomes less concentrated as it flows down the medullary collecting ducts, toward the renal pelvis is completely false.

The general functions of the lymphatic system are To collect excess tissue fluid and protein then transport them to the kidneys
vaieri [72.5K]

The functions of lymphatic system are:

To provide generic defenses against any type of invaders which happen to breach our barriers, remove any debris left after the invasion has been stopped, and then fill in the damaged area with scar tissue.

The main cells of immune response are found in lymph: B and T lymphocytes are produced in lymphoid tissue (T lymphocytes mature in thymus (or tonsils)) and concentrated in the lymph nodes.

To collect excess tissue fluid and make it pathogen free before returning it to the bloodstream.

Lymphatic system drains and cleans interstitial fluid from tissue spaces and also returns leaked plasma proteins to the blood.

It also transports lipids and lipid-soluble vitamins absorbed from the digestive system.  

Big lymph vessels -lacteals are at the beginning of the gastrointestinal tract and their role is to transport fats (lipids) and vitamins to the blood circulation via the thoracic duct.
