    This document summarizes the results of an experiment on the impact of increasing solute gradients on urine concentration and volume. The experiment shows that as the interstitial solute concentration increases, urine volume decreases and concentration increases. The presence of ADH also decreased urine volume by increasing water reabsorption in the collecting duct.

    Exercise 9: Renal System Physiology
    Activity 4: Solute Gradients and Their Impact on Urine Concentration
    Name: Maria Karla M. Balamad

    Session ID: session-750d3f36-28c0-ffb6-e939-23aba0b77322

    Pre-lab Quiz Results


    You scored 100% by answering 4 out of 4 questions correctly.

    1 As filtrate passes through the nephron, the renal process of reabsorption describes

    You correctly answered: the movement of water and solutes from the tubule lumen, into the
    interstitial space, and, finally, into the peritubular capillaries.

    2 The maximum solute concentration refers to the amount of solutes

    You correctly answered: in the interstitial space.

    3 Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) affects the permeability of

    You correctly answered: the collecting duct.

    4 ADH aids the reabsorption of

    You correctly answered: water.

    Experiment Results
    Predict Question
    1 Predict Question: What will happen to the urine volume and concentration as the solute
    gradient in the interstitial space is increased?

    Your answer: The urine volume will decrease and the concentration will increase.

    Stop & Think Questions


    1 Why is the solute concentration (mOsm) in the proximal tubule the same as in the blood?

    You correctly answered: Because water and many plasma solutes filter into Bowman's
    capsule.

    2 In the presence of ADH, what component of the tubule fluid moves out of the collecting duct
    and into the interstitial space?

    Post-lab Quiz Results


    You scored 100% by answering 3 out of 3 questions correctly.

    1 Tubule fluid osmolarity will always be the greatest in which of these locations?

    You correctly answered: the bottom of the loop of Henle.

    2 Tubule fluid volume will always be the greatest in which of these locations?

    You correctly answered: the proximal convoluted tubule.

    3 Where does ADH directly alter the urine volume?

    You correctly answered: in the collecting duct.

    Review Sheet Results


    1 What happened to the urine concentration as the solute concentration in the interstitial
    space was increased? How well did the results compare to your prediction?

    Your answer:

    My prediction was correct. The solute concentration increased at the same rate as the urine
    concentration. the urine volume decreased as the solute and urine concentration increased.

    2 What happened to the volume of urine as the solute concentration in the interstitial space
    was increased? How well did the results compare to your prediction?

    Your answer:

    My prediction was the same as the answer. The urine volume decreased as the
    concentration increased.

    3 What do you think would happen to urine volume if you did not add ADH to the collecting
    duct?

    Your answer:

    The urine volume would increase if ADH was not added to the collecting duct. The ADH
    increases the permeability for water on the collecting duct. This means that less water stays
    in and the urine becomes more concentrated. Basically, as water decreases, volume
    decreases.

    4 Is most of the tubule filtrate reabsorbed into the body or excreted in urine? Explain.

    Your answer:

    Most of the tubule filtrates are reabsorbed into the body to maintain homeostasis. It is to
    prevent fluid loss.

    5 Can the reabsorption of solutes influence water reabsorption from the tubule fluid? Explain.

    Your answer:

    Yes, the reabsorption of solutes influences water reabsorption because the water follows
    the solutes using osmosis.
