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.

9. Leukolo/cyte is a White cell, a skin cell containing no melanin pigment. What part of the word
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

A) the part of the word Leukocyte which means white is Leuko. It is of Greek origin and derived from the word <em>Leuco</em> which means white, or clear.

B) the part of the same word which means cell is -cyte. It also has a Greek origin and derives from the word <em>Kytos</em> which means <em>vessel.</em>

<em />

C) The letter (o) is is a vowel. Simply defined, vowels are sounds produced without any restrictions or constraints in the vocal tract. In English language, there are lots of vowel sounds. They are mostly represented by the following letters: a, e, i, o, and u.

D) No. Compound words come in various forms. Compounds words are formed when at least two words are used together to create a new word. They can come with any of the vowel sounds mentioned above. For example:

Moon + Light = Moonlight

Basket + Ball = Basketball

Candle + Stick = Candlestick

As you would note, none of the compound words above have the same vowel sound as the (o) found in Leuk<u>o</u>cyte.

The vowel sound (o) found in Leukocyte is written as <em>uh</em>. It is similar to the pronunciation found in the following words: up, mother, sun, cut, run etc.

Cheers!
