Explain the mechanism maintaining osmotic gradient in renal medullary intestitium​

Biology

In the inner medullary collecting ducts it increases both water and urea permeability, which allows urea to flow passively down its concentration gradient into the interstitial fluid. This adds to the osmotic gradient and helps drive water reabsorption.

<em>In the inner medulla, urea recirculates, creating a greater osmotic gradient. It follows the concentration gradient formed by ADH-sensitive water reabsorption into the interstitial space from the collecting duct. The remaining water is drawn from the descending structures by increased interstitial osmolarity. </em>

<em></em>

<em>To maintain the vertical osmotic gradient, the blood supply to the renal medulla serves as a countercurrent exchanger. - The medullary vertical osmotic gradient is maintained by the vasa recta.</em>

<em></em>

<em>It enhances both water and urea permeability in the inner medullary collecting ducts, allowing urea to diffuse passively down its concentration gradient into the interstitial fluid. This contributes to the osmotic gradient and aids water absorption.</em>

Waters in the coastal ocean tend to be more productive than waters of similar depth in the open ocean. What is the main reason f
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

The coastal ocean seems to be more productive than the waters of the similar height in the open ocean due to ample availability of water, sunlight, and nutrients. The coastal ocean has more nutrients due to the process of upwelling, that is, movement of water offshore by the currents.

Also, water situated on the continental shelves is comparatively shallower and thus it is turbulent. This mixing or turbulence keeps settling the nutrients stirred up and accessible, and eventually, ample of nutrients erode off the continents themselves and so water nearby to the shore seems to be greater in nutrients.  

On the other hand, in the surface water away from the coastlines, usually, there is a lot of sunlight but no availability of adequate nutrients. Therefore, the majority of the ocean surface is not much productive.

What are the advantages of being a respiratory parasite (the tongue worms) over one in the digestive system (if any)?
Nata [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

The parasites living at the respiratory system or tongue worms will hide under the soft tissues of the oral cavity, beneath the tongue and even beneath the throat or esophagus. These worms remain undetected during diagnosis. These worms are not subjected to the treatment of acids which worms in the digestive system are exposed to. Thus these worm parasites in the respiratory system or tongue survive comparatively for long as compared to the worms in the digestive system.

How are climate change and global warning related?
s344n2d4d5 [400]
So Global warming is the rise in global temperatures due mainly to the increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Climate change is the increasing changes in the measures of climate over a long period of time.

This includes : precipitation, temperature, and wind patterns.

Hopes this helps :)

What contributed to the specification in Darwin's Finch theory
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

On his visit to the Galapagos Islands, Charles Darwin discovered several species of finches that varied from island to island, which helped him to develop his theory of natural selection.

Darwin's finches are a classical example of an adaptive radiation. Their common ancestor arrived on the Galapagos about two million years ago. During the time that has passed the Darwin's finches have evolved into 15 recognized species differing in body size, beak shape, song and feeding behaviour.
