The increasing gradient of osmolarity in medullary interstitium, during concentration of urine, is mainly caused by reabsortion of:

1. NaCl from ascending limb of loop of Henle and of urea by collecting duct
2. NaCl from descending limb of loop of Henle and of urea by collecting duct
3. NaCl from ascending limb of loop of Henle and of urea by PCT
4. NaCl from descending limb of loop of Henle and of urea by PCT

An excessive loss of body fluid can:

1. activate osmoreceptors, stimulating hypothalamus to release ADH and thereby preventing diuresis
2. switch off osmoreceptors, suppressing release of ADH promoting diuresis
3. activate osmoreceptors, stimulating hypothalamus to release ADH and thereby promoting diuresis
4. switch off osmoreceptors, suppressing release of ADH preventing diuresis

2. It reabsorbs 70-80 % of electrolytes and water and nearly all nutrients
3. In juxta-medullary nephrons, it extends deep into the renal medulla
4. It secretes hydrogen ions, ammonia and reabsorbs bicarbonate ions to maintain the ionic and pH balance of the body fluids
