Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Urea recycling promotes reabsorption of water from the tubular fluid of the collecting ducts. Urea recycling occurs in the medullary part of the collecting ducts where urea diffuses from the interstitial fluid into the tubular fluid. This increases the osmotic pressure in the medulla, which in turn promotes water reabsorption from the tubular fluid into the interstitial fluid.
