Abstract

Summary.The change in composition of fluid perfused through rabbit ureters in vivo was investigated. It was shown that1. labelled water and chloride can leave the ureter through the mucosal barrier;2. during certain conditions, a net transport of sodium and chloride through the mucosa takes place, the direction being along diminishing concentration gradients;3. moderately hypo‐ and hypertonic sodium chloride solutions evoke very small volume shifts during passage;4. hydrogen ions may easily disappear during the transport along the ureter, presumably by way of transmucosal transport.
