Describe the special characteristics of the descending and ascending limbs of the nephron loop that cause the formation of the medullary osmotic gradient.
Explain why the filtrate becomes hypotonic as it flows through the ascending limb of the nephron loop. Also explain why the filtrate at the bend of the nephron loop (and the interstitial fluid of the deep portions of the medulla) is hypertonic.
Explain why the filtrate becomes hypotonic as it flows through the ascending limb of the nephron loop and why the filtrate at the end of the nephron loop is hypertonic.
