Textbook Question
Chapter 44, Problem 9TYU
SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY You are exploring kidney function in kangaroo rats. You measure urine volume and osmolarity, as well as the amount of chloride (Cl ) and urea in the urine. If the water source provided to the animals were switched from tap water to a 2% NaCl solution, indicate what change in urine osmolarity you would expect. How would you determine if this change was more likely due to a change in the excretion of Cl or urea?

Make a diagram of Nephron Function
diagram the changes that occur in osmolarity and volume of the filtrate as it moves through the nephron and collecting duct.
Draw the diameter of the nephron proportional to the volume of the filtrate and the color intensity of the filtrate proportional to the osmolarity. Make sure to draw a gradient arrow for the osmolarity of the interstitial fluid.
