What is present in the vasa recta to remove water for the interstitial fluid of the renal medulla? A)Na⁺/K⁺ pump B)urea transporters C)aquaporins D)ADH receptors

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Aquaporins are present in the vasa recta to remove water from the interstitial fluid of the renal medulla. They are water channel proteins that allow for the rapid movement of water across the cell membrane. This allows the vasa recta to remove water from the interstitial fluid and maintain the concentration gradient necessary for the production of concentrated urine. The other options listed are not directly involved in the removal of water from the interstitial fluid in the renal medulla.
