vasa recta

There was complete autoregulation of blood flow in descending vasa recta.

The vasa recta (capillary loops) also have a slow flow as well.

Auto-regulation in ascending vasa recta was also good.

The vasa recta have a similar loop shape so that the gradient does not dissipate into the plasma.

As well, blood in the vasa recta still has large proteins and ions which were not filtered through the glomerulus.

Angiotensin II decreases medullary blood flow through the vasa recta.

Captopril had no effect on autoregulation of blood flow in either descending or ascending vasa recta.

The efferent arterioles of the juxtamedullary nephron drain into the vasa recta.

However, other sources consider "vasa recta renis" to refer to both the arterial and venous portions.

If the vasa recta did not exist, the high concentration of solutes in the medullary interstitium would be washed out.

As water is osmotically driven from the descending limb into the interstitium, it readily enters the vasa recta.

The vasa recta of the jejunum are long and few, compared to the ileum where they are numerous and short.

It then moves into the vasa recta, which are only found in juxtamedullary nephrons and not cortical nephrons.

UT-B is expressed at the basolateral and apical regions of the descending Vasa recta.

On the other hand, the vasa recta are formed by efferent arterioles exiting the glomeruli of mammalia-type nephrons.

The vasa recta are collecting capillaries intertwined with the loop of Henle through the interstitial space, in which the reabsorbed substances will also enter.

The low bloodflow through the vasa recta allows time for osmotic equilibration, and can be altered by changing the resistance of the vessels' efferent arterioles.

From the terminal arches numerous small straight vessels (vasa recta) arise which encircle the intestine, upon which they are distributed, ramifying between its coats.

The loop of Henle is the counter current multiplier and the vasa recta is the counter current exchanger, the mechanism being described below.

The straight venules of kidney are branches from the plexuses at the apices of the medullary pyramids, formed by the terminations of the vasa recta.

HUT11 was detected on endothelial cells of the vasa recta (vascular supply of the renal medulla) but it is not present in renal tubules.

Nearest the duodenum the mesenteric loops are primary, the vasa recta are long and regular in distribution, and the translucent spaces (lunettes) are extensive.

Autoregulation of blood flow was assessed by a dual-slit technique in descending and ascending vasa recta of the exposed renal papillae of antidiuretic rats.

The mechanism of counter current multiplication works together with the vasa recta's counter current exchange to prevent the wash out of salts and maintain a high osmolarity at the inner medulla.

These capillaries (called the vasa recta; recta is from the Latin for "straight") also have a countercurrent multiplier mechanism that prevents washout of solutes from the medulla, thereby maintaining the medullary concentration.
