Henle's loop and the macula densa in the kidney:

Question

Answer

the macula releases ATP in response to low sodium load (tubulo-glomerular feedback)

Answer

the macula can release renin to increase Na+ reabsorption (via aldosterone)

Answer

the macula is a sensor of GFR, independent of Na+ concentration

Answer

the macula can release ATP that indirectly constricts the afferent arteriole

Answer

Henle's loop generates a gradient in urea concentration in the renal medulla

Answer

the macula is a sensor of Na+ concentration in the lumen, independent of GFR

Answer

Henle's loop terminates into the straight portion of the distal tubule, where the macula densa transduces the activity of NKCC transporter into a chemical signal to the juxta-glomerular apparatus

Answer

Henle's loop expresses the same Na:Cl transporter that is expressed in the whole distal convoluted tubule

Answer

Henle's loop is involved in regulating sodium, potassium and chloride reabsorption

Answer

Henle's loop is involved in regulating sodium reabsorption

Answer

the thick portion of the ascending limb of Henle's loop expresses the same transport systems as the macula densa cells
