Which of the following processes contribute to the production of a small volume of highly concentrated urine during dehydration?

Show Answers

Increased fluid reabsorption in the proximal convoluted tubuleEnhanced concentration ability of the loop of HenleGreater reabsorption in the distal convoluted tubule and collecting ductsAll of the aboveNone of the above

Explanation

During dehydration, the kidneys produce a small amount of concentrated urine by combining several mechanisms: increased reabsorption in the proximal tubule, enhanced concentration in the loop of Henle, and greater reabsorption in the distal tubule and collecting ducts. Therefore, all these processes work together to conserve water.
