CHEGG Considering what actions occur along the ascending loop of Henle (membrane permeability, action transport mechanisms, etc.), why is the filtrate exiting the loop of Henle into the DCT HYPO-osmotic compared to the filtrate entering the loop of Henle?

The loop of Henle in the mammalian renal tubule…

Which molecules are responsible for the high osmolarity of the renal medulla in the mammalian kidney?     "Na+, Cl-, and K+"     "urea, uric acid, and Na+"     "Na+, Cl-, and urea"     "uric acid, urea, and amonia"

The mechanisms for producing the medullary osmotic gradient require active transport of sodium and chloride ions from the ascending limb of the loop of Henle. active transport of sodium and chloride ions from the ascending limb of the vasa recta. the ascending limb of the loop of Henle to be permeable to water. the vasa recta to be impermeable to water. both A and B
