Question:

Which of these is not a property of the renal counter-current multiplier?

It is opposed by the vasa recta.

It exploits the structure of the nephron loop.

It depends on active ion transport to function.

It creates a hyperosmotic interstitial fluid in the kidney medulla.

Answer:

The correct option is;

It is opposed by the vasa recta

Step-by-step explanation:

Counter current multiplication is the process whereby energy is used to build osmotic pressure gradient in the kidney such that water is reabsorbed from the exit tubular fluids reducing the volume of produced urine by increasing the urine concentration while the vasa recta capillaries slows blood flow rate so as to keep the osmotic pressure gradient constant enabling water to be reabsorbed thus concentrating the urine in line with counter current multiplication.

MrRissso [65]

The age of the van owned = 12 years

The age of the truck owned = 29 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given question is INCOMPLETE.

Laura takes very good care of her vehicles. She owns a blue van and a red truck. Although she bought them both new, she has owned the truck for 17 years longer than she has owned the van. If the sum of the ages of the vehicles is 41 years, how old is the van and how old is the truck?

Let us assume the number of years Laura has owned the van = S years

So, according to the question:

The number of years she has owned truck = S + 17 years

Now, Sum of the age of ( Truck + Van) = 41 years

⇒ (S + 17 years) + (S years) = 41 years

or, 2 S + 17 = 41

or, 2 S = 4 1 -1 7 = 24

or, S = 24/2 = 12 years

or, S = 12 years

Hence the age of the van owned = 12 years

The age of the truck owned = S + 17 = 12 + 17 = 29 years
