How does the reabsorption of chloride ions in the loop of henle increase urine production |
|
Answer» Answer: SODIUM (Na+), potassium (K+) and chloride (Cl−) ions are reabsorbed from the urine by SECONDARY active transport by a Na-K-Cl cotransporter (NKCC2). The electrical and CONCENTRATION gradient drives more reabsorption of Na+, as well as other cations such as magnesium (Mg2+) and calcium (CA2+). |
