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

Biology
1 answer:
Volgvan3 years ago
6 0

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.

iren2701 [21]

Answer:

Option (C)

Blood smears usually refers to the blood test that is being conducted in order to determine if there is any abnormality or irregularity in the blood cells. This test is conducted in the laboratories by using the slides.

What human activities affect the water, carbon, and the nitrogen cycle what are the consequences
Mademuasel [1]
The nitrogen cycle is impacted by humanswhenever fertilizer is applied to farmland to help crops grow. This adds nitrates to the soil. If soil erodes, the nitrates are transported and deposited in the nearest body of water. This can cause algae to overgrow in a process called eutrophication. The lake will run out of oxygen as the algae die off and bacteria begin their decomposition.Sessile organisms are greatly affected.
