Match the following:
-Play a role in urine concentration.
A)Glomerular capillaries
B)Vasa recta
C)Afferent arterioles
D)Peritubular capillaries
E)Efferent arterioles

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Vasa recta play a role in urine concentration by maintaining a concentration gradient in the renal medulla, which allows for reabsorption of water and solutes from the tubules.

Answer: E 
 Efferent arterioles play a role in urine concentration by regulating the flow of blood to the glomerulus, which affects the filtration rate and thus the concentration of solutes in the urine.

Answer: D 
 Peritubular capillaries play a role in urine concentration by reabsorbing water and solutes from the tubules and returning them to the bloodstream.

Note: While glomerular capillaries and afferent arterioles are involved in the process of urine formation, they are not specifically related to urine concentration.
