The physiological principle that allows the kidney to excrete urine that can be either
more or less dilute than the blood plasma it originates from.
, a. the epithelial cells lining the urinary bladder pump salt and urea into the urine to
concentrate it, or pump water in to make it more dilute
b. sodium is pumped out of the collecting duct under the influence of atrial natriuretic
peptide (ANP), to concentrate sodium in the interior (medulla) of the kidney
c. insoluble dietary fiber is used to pull water osmotically from the urine as it pass
through the functional unit (nephrons) or the kidney
d. countercurrent sodium pumping in the loop of Henle creates a high concentration of
salt in the interior of the kidney, and the collecting ducts have variable permeability to
water. - Answer-d. countercurrent sodium pumping in the loop of Henle creates a high

usually noted on the labels or in the nutrient database. - Answer-d. organic foods have
different nutrient content than conventionally grown foods, as is usually noted on the
labels or in the nutrient database.
