The vasa recta is a specialized portion of the what?
The efferent areterioles serving the juxtamedullay nephrons tend not to break up into preitubular capullaries. Instead they form bundles of long straight vessels called vasa recta that extend deep into the medulla paralleling the longest loops of Henle. The play and important role in forming concentrated urine. they also reclaim most of that filtrate
Capillary loops located in the medulla are also known as?
Vasa Recta
Trace the flow of blood through the nephron?
the flow of blood through the nephron is : enters through the afferent arteriole, then flows through the glomerulus and into the efferent arteriole. Blood then enters the peritubular capillaries and the vasa recta and then flows through the cortex and medulla of the kidneys close to the tubules Answer: so the flow is afferent arteriole, efferent arteriole, peritubular capillaries, vasa recta
The net action of the vasa recta is to remove water from and dilute solutes in the interstitial fluid of the renal medulla?
False
What normally contains blood Bowman's capsule vasa recta loop of Henle collecting duct or proximal tubule?
The vasa recta. It is the main capillary that collects the filtered blood from the afferent tubule.
How is the high osmolarity of the renal medulla is maintained?
Counter-current multiplication which occurs on the Vasa Recta helps maintain high osmolarity in the renal medulla Sodium Chloride (NaCl, or salt) is pumped out of the ascending limb of the loop of Henle. The result is that the renal medulla has a high salt concentration, and therefore a low water concentration.
The efferent arteriole carries blood from the glomerulus to the?
peritubular cappilaries
