juxtamedullary nephron is responsible for making the medulla salty.
juxtamedullary nephron is a structural and functional unit of the kidney with the loop of henle. juxtamedullary nephrons have long loop of henle extending deep into the renal medulla.
Medulla is salty because in this part of the tube , sodium and chloride ions are actively pumped out of the filtrate into the tissue fluid around it. the importance of creating this salty medulla is so that when the fluid flows down the collecting duct, yet more water is drawn out as it passes through the concentrated surroundings.

Please answer all questions. Thank You? The nephron is the functional unit of the excretory system in humans. Each nephron has specific parts, with specific functions. Label these parts on the diagram below. arterioles branch of renal vein branch of renal artery capillaries 28. A diuretic is any substance that causes and increase in urine output. Which of the following can explain why alcohol acts as a diuretic? a. Alcohol causes the release of endorphins from the brain. The endorphins...
