<h2>Vasa recta </h2>

Explanation:

The vasa recta is a specialized capillary that branches from the efferent arteriole; The blood flow in the vasa recta runs parallel, but in the opposite direction to the flow of tubular filtrate within the nephron loop

  • The vasa recta capillaries are long, hairpin-shaped blood vessels that run parallel to the loops of Henle
  • The hairpin turns slow the rate of blood flow, which helps maintain the osmotic gradient required for water reabsorption
  • Absorbed water is returned to the circulatory system via the vasa recta, which surrounds the tips of the loops of Henle
  • Because the blood flow through these capillaries is very slow, any solutes that are reabsorbed into the bloodstream have time to diffuse back into the interstitial fluid, which maintains the solute concentration gradient in the medulla; this passive process is known as counter-current exchange

What do you think of when you hear the word science? How would you define it?
Scorpion4ik [409]
<span>I usually think of biology first, and then physics. I trust those types of science a whole lot more than social sciences. I don't think of it like most non-sciency people do (like with diet pills and perfume). I think of it like using the actual scientific method, doing the same thing over and again expecting different results, taking the objective (or subjective, when that applies) results and forming a logical conclusion and not one that fits your hypothesis/agenda. Kind of like those kids that every high school has (on TV shows, they're the ones that are doing something with robotics all the time) that are nerdy, science geeks always running experiments and seeing what happens. </span>
