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>

Hypothesis that states that the continents were once one large mass that broke apart?
Talja [164]

Answer:

Continental drift

Explanation:

Alfred Wagener told about continental drift. He said that continents were a single land mass called Pangaea. They were separated and relocated in the form of different continents. The drifting happens due to the movement of tectonic plates above the magma. As a result, the land mass was broken down into different landforms.  These broken parts were carried slowly and form the continents. The continents are now also moving slowly
