Counter current mechanism is useful for

Counter current mechanism observed in the renal medulla helps in formation of concentrated urine dilute urine reabsorption of nutrients reabsorption of creatinine

Read the statements given below A. The renal cortex extends between the medullary pyramids as Columns of Bertini. B. ATP molecules are used in kidneys to convert NH3 to urea. C. Reabsorption of water in PCT and loop of Henle is obligatory. D. High medullary osmolarity is mainly developed due to NaCI and urea by counter current mechanism of vasa recta and loop of Henle. The correct statements are

Assertion :- Human kidneys can produce urine nearly four times concentrated than the initial filtrate formed. Reason :- Counter current mechanism helps to maintain a concentration gradient in the medullary interstitium.

Hormone which helps to increase the reabsorption of water from the kidney tubules. AD

The counter current system of vasa rectae retains the reabsorbed Na^(+) in the medullary tissue.

The counter current mechanism involves the transport of …….....to maintain the concentration of……...in medullary interstitium.

The hormone that promotes reabsorption of water from glomerular filtrate is

Assertion: In terrestrial animals,counter current mechanism helps in the concentration of the filtrate to pass out concentrated urine. Reason: Descending limb is impermeable to water while ascending limb is impermeable to Na^(+)
