Mixed answer. The descending limb of the Nephron Loop (loop of henle) is not permiable to sodium. It is permiable to Urea that diffuses from the permiable lower end of the collecting tubule(CT). All a part of keeping the osmolity of the renal medulla high.

What does sodium stand for?

Sodium nitrate is a type of salt that happens to be a particularly effective food preservative. A naturally occurring mineral, sodium nitrate is present in all kinds of vegetables (root veggies like carrots as well as leafy greens like celery and spinach) along with all sorts of fruits and grains. Basically, anything that grows from the ground draws sodium nitrate out of the soil.


How many segments do segmented worms have?

Segmented worms, also known as annelids, have multiple segments lined up in succession along their body. The number of segments can vary depending on the species, but they typically have numerous segments that help facilitate movement and provide flexibility.

Water reacts with sodium metal to produce sodium hydroxide and hydrogen along with heat and light.what are the reactants in this chemical reaction?

The reactants are sodium and water.


Where are voltage gated sodium channels concentrated in myelinated axon?

In myelinated axons, the voltage gated sodium ions are located along the nodes of Ranvier, the exposed places between the myelin segments. The gates here, however, are not particularly more concentrated than on other un-myelinated axons. TRUE

What happens when you mix bromine and sodium?

When you mix bromine and sodium, a redox reaction occurs where sodium donates an electron to bromine. This forms sodium bromide, a white crystalline solid, along with releasing a significant amount of heat and light.


What happens when ethanoic acid reacts with sodium carbonate?

When ethanoic acid reacts with sodium carbonate, a salt called sodium ethanoate is formed along with carbon dioxide gas and water. The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is: CH3COOH + Na2CO3 → 2CH3COONa + CO2 + H2O


What can be considered as passive transport?

Any form of transport that does not require a form of energy, which means that it happens along a concentration gradient (from an area of high to low concentration) and across a selectively permeable membrane (Osmosis)

What happens when sodium bicarbonate is added into silver nitrate?

When sodium bicarbonate is added to silver nitrate, a white precipitate of silver carbonate is formed along with sodium nitrate solution. The reaction can be represented as: NaHCO3 + AgNO3 → Ag2CO3 + NaNO3 + H2O + CO2.


What happens when butonoic acid and sodium hydroxide mix together?

When butyric acid (butanoic acid) and sodium hydroxide mix together, a neutralization reaction occurs, forming sodium butyrate salt and water. Sodium butyrate is a salt that is often used in food additives and in the pharmaceutical industry.


What are the functions of sodium in the body?

What happens when sodium is treated with ammonia?

When sodium is treated with ammonia, the sodium dissolves in the liquid ammonia to form a deep blue solution called sodium amide, along with the release of hydrogen gas. This reaction is highly exothermic and should be carried out with caution due to the potential for a violent reaction.
