Abstract
1. 1. Isolated epithelium of hen coprodeum was subjected to mucosal solutions with hyperosmotic potassium-ammonium-phosphate concentrations similar to the composition of ureteral urine of dehydrated birds. 2. 2. Only small effects of these physiological challenges were encountered on net sodium absorption rate (short-circuit current) or epithelial resistance. 3. 3. The coprodeum is thus very resistant to the urine stored in the organ.
