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>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>

How is sex determined in organisms like humans?
viktelen [127]

Answer:

"The combination of sex chromosomes received from parents " .

Explanation:

Sex determination : The process by which sex of a child is determined .

Parental generation :

Mother         Father

XX                   XY (sex chromosomes )

X,X                   X,Y  (gametes )

First filial generation :

       X        Y

X    XX       XY

X     XX       XY

If XX is formed then it is girl and if XY is formed then it is boy .

Conclusion :

  • we concluded that there is 50-50 percent chance of boy or a girl .

Answer:

D. Osmosis

Explanation: a process by which molecules of a solvent tend to pass through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated one, thus equalizing the concentrations on each side of the membrane.
