Urinary System Drugs

Question 1 • VA_Pharmacology_A

How do diuretic drugs use osmosis to restore health to the urinary system?

Answer
A
Water is diffused from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration to create a balance.
B
Water is diffused from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration to create a balance.
C
Water is diffused from areas of equal concentration to create an imbalance for proper urine production.
D
Water is diffused from areas of equal concentration to create an imbalance for proper blood volume.

Explanation

Osmosis is the movement of water from an area with a higher water concentration to an area with a lower water concentration, tending toward balance. Diuretic drugs affect how water is reabsorbed in the kidneys, which can increase the amount of water removed in urine. Thus, the choice describing water moving from high to low concentration is correct.
