1. Concerning the kidneys and their function;

• the wall of the thick segment of the ascending loop of Henle is impermeable to water the colloid osmotic pressure of blood in the glomerulus favours the formation of glomerular filtrate
• in water diuresis, the permeability of the collecting duct is increased by comparison with the non-diuretic situation
• the hydrostatic pressure of the ultrafiltrate in the Bowman's capsule favours the formation of glomerular filtrate
• the colloid osmotic pressure of blood in the glomerulus favours the formation of glomerular filtrate
