Question

Which of the following are TRUE regarding the membrane of the descending limb of the Loop of Henle? Includes aquaporins that allow water to leave and concentrate filtrate NaCl pumps allow filtrate to be 300 mOsm less than surrounding interstitial fluid Utilizes both facilitated diffusion and active transport to remove solutes from filtrate Allows diffusion of urea that contributes to the osmotic concentration gradient of interstitial fluid.
