scilearner Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 (edited) Hello everyone, I searched the net but I don't understand the difference. BLO0D FLOW ----------------------------------> 0% ........................................… saturation 0% ........................................… saturation WATER FLOW <------------------------------- Countercurrent BLO0D FLOW ----------------------------------> 0% ........................................… saturation 100%..................................… saturation WATER FLOW ---------------------------------> Concurrent I understand how equilibrium would be reached in concurrent but I don't understand how counter current maintains a concentration gradient. Please explain in simple language. Also if you can explain the above diagrams, I got it from net I don't understand them much. Thanks Edited November 2, 2010 by scilearner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scilearner Posted November 2, 2010 Author Share Posted November 2, 2010 Hello guys I just want to know why is that when 2 flows are parallel and opposite to each other, a concentration gradient is maintained always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
