Therefore the number of nephrons must increase as body size increases, which in turn increases the relative amount of cortex (the area of the kidney where most of the nephron is located), at the expense of the medulla.

Dipodomys elephantinus Production of this "concentrated" urine is an important mechanism for excreting metabolic wastes while maintaining water balance in the body. Explain how the longer loop of Henle is able to assist the desert kangaroo rat in preventing excessive water loss. Cortical nephrons have short-reach loops that just penetrate the boundary between the inner and outer zones of the medulla. Evaporation through the skin is the major route of loss. kangaroo rats lose so little water that they can recover 90% of the loss from metabolic water and gain the remaining 10% in their diet of seeds.

The kangaroo rat (Dipodomys merriami) excretes large amounts of antidiuretic hormone in the urine (up to 50 milli-units per ml).The presence of this high concentration of hormone is believed to be related to the ability of this desert rodent to excrete the most concentrated urine of any mammal and to reflect a correspondingly high rate of secretion of antidiuretic hormone by the posterior .
