What Triggers The Movement Of Water Out Of The Descending Limb?

ANSWER: Water is actively transported by cells of the descending limb. Ions are transported out of the ascending limb, and the resulting concentration gradient in the peritubular fluid pulls water out of the descending limb. Ions are actively transported out of the descending limb, and water follows. There is a hydrostatic pressure gradient in the descending limb that allows water to filter out.
