Question

If kidney fails to reabsorb water,the tissue would A)remain unaffected B)shrink to shrivel C)absorb water from blood D) take more oxygen from blood

Answer 1

B) Shrink and shrivel

Answer 2

Kidney fails to reabsorb water, the tissue would B) shrink and shrivel.

Reabsorption of the water is one of the “primary functions” of the ‘kidney’ and it is tightly regulated by the anti-diuretic hormone, failing which the concentration of the urine drops.

Low urine concentration signifies the excessive ‘loss of water’ from the body, which normally would have been reabsorbed and sent back into the ‘blood stream’. Due to the ‘loss of water’, the tissues in the body would start to shrink and shrivel.
