How does the body regulate the concentration of solutes in the urine to produce hypertonic urine?
The body regulates the concentration of solutes in urine to make it hypertonic by adjusting the reabsorption of water and solutes in the kidneys. This helps maintain the body's water balance and prevent dehydration.
What molecule is reabsorbed from the collecting duct so that urine becomes hypertonic?
water
Is urine always hyper tonic to the blood plasma?
It depends. If the body is dehydrated, it will produce highly concentrated (hypertonic) urine in order to conserve water from the blood stream. If your blood is hypotonic (contains excess water), then the kidneys will release hypotonic urine, to reduce the amount of water in the blood. Therefore, if you are dehydrated, the urine is considered hypertonic to the blood. If not, the urine is hypotonic to the blood.
What makes a solution with nacl be hypertonic?
A solution with a concentration of NaCl higher than 9 g/L is hypertonic.
What type of solute makes cell shrinks?
Hypertonic solution.
A cell is dropped into a solution and the cell swells the solution is?
hypertonic hypertonic
What refers to a solution with more molecules outside the cell than inside the cell?
hypertonic solution
Are saltwater fish hypotonic or hypertonic?
hypertonic!
Is dns hypo or hypertonic fluid?
hypertonic
Is 10gdL of NaCl hypertonic in blood?
It is hypertonic.
What effect does large amounts of water have on a urine test?
nothing. it just makes it more clear. and it makes it so you have more urine
How does the loop of Henle enable the mammalian kidney to produce hypertonic urine?
The loop of Henle plays a crucial role in the kidney's ability to produce hypertonic urine by creating a countercurrent multiplication system. As filtrate descends into the loop, water is reabsorbed in the descending limb, concentrating the filtrate. In the ascending limb, sodium and chloride ions are actively transported out, making the surrounding medulla hyperosmotic. This gradient allows for further water reabsorption in the collecting ducts, enabling the production of urine that is more concentrated than blood plasma.
