Answer:

Loop of Henle lenght

Explanation:

Juxtamedullary nephrons have a longer loop of Henle that cortical nephrons and as we know this loop has a great function reabsorving water, the longer it is more water is reabsorved. The descending portion of the loop is permeable to ions but not to water so this portion reaborves a great quantity of water. Then in the ascending loop is the opposite, it is permeable to water but not to ions. The ions reabsorved in the ascending loop (20-25% of the Na+) are responsable of the water reabsorved in the descending loop. The longer the loop is more water and ions are reabsorved.

To maintain homeostasis, the body must maintain mass balance. How much water must be consumed if 2000 mL was lost during exercis
Ilya [14]

Answer:

2.1 liter.

Explanation:

Homeostasis may be defined as the phenomena of the maintenance of the internal environment of the body irrespective of the change in the external or internal environment.

The water consumption is important for the body as the human's body consists of more than 60% water.

The water consumption can be calculated as follows:

Water consumption = water loss - water produced.

Water loss from exercise = 2000 ml = 2 liter, 300 ml was lost during from metabolism = 0.3 liter.

The water produced = 200 ml = 0.2 liter.

The water consumption = 2 L + 0.3 L - 0.2 L

Total water consumption done by the body = 2.1 liter.

Thus, the answer is 2.1 liter.
