Line 2: The '''Kokko and Rector model''' is a theory explaining the mechanism of generation of a gradient in the [[inner medulla]] of the [[kidney]]. Unlike earlier theories explaining the mechanism using counter current mechanism (as is the case in the [[outer medulla]]), the driving force for salt reabsorption is stated to be urea accumulation. It has been proved that counter current mechanism cannot be the case in the [[inner medulla]], since there are no salt pumps, and the [[cell membrane]] is too [[Semipermeable membrane\|permeable]] to salt. ==History== It has been proposed by JP Kokko and FC Rector Jr. ==References==
