Loop diuretics reduce body water content by acting on the countercurrent multiplier system.
- A countercurrent multiplier system is produced by the loop of Henle's structure and the related peritubular capillary.
- The descending and ascending loops' proximity to one another and the fluid's direction of flow give rise to the term "countercurrent".
- The process of creating an osmotic gradient in the kidneys known as countercurrent multiplication allows the body to reabsorb water from the tubular fluid and produce concentrated urine.
- The nephrons of the human excretory system use a countercurrent multiplier, also known as a countercurrent mechanism, to concentrate urine in the kidneys.
- The nephrons that are involved in the production of concentrated urine run alongside vasa recta from the kidney cortex to the medulla.
