The ability of producing concentrated (hypertonic) urine in vertebrates generally depends on (a) area of Bowman's capsule epithelium (b) length of the proximal convoluted tubule (c) length of Henle's loop (d) capillary network forming glomerulus.
Excretion of a hypertonic urine in humans is best associated with the a. glomerular capsule and the tubules. b. proximal convoluted tubule only. c. loop of the nephron and collecting duct. d. distal convoluted tubule and peritubular capillary.
For mammals of the same size, what feature of their excretory systems would give them the greatest ability to produce a hypertonic urine? a. Higher glomerular filtration rate b. Longer convoluted tubules c. Increased number of nephrons $d$. More permeable collecting ducts $e .$ Longer loops of Henle
