Glossary search results for: countercurrent A mechanism in which fluids flowing in opposite directions interact by transport between them of heat or solutes etc Such mechanisms are important in many animals for the conservation of heat in limbs exposed to extreme cold (where the transfer is purely passive) and in the kidney for the concentration of solutes in excreted fluids (where the transport of solutes involves active transport)
