Supplemental Excel file.xlsx

This supplemental Excel file supports the article titled “A Better Explanation of Countercurrent Multiplication in the Formation of the Corticopapillary Osmotic Gradient in the Outer Medulla” in <em>Advances in Physiology Education</em>. This file serves the following three functions: First, it explains how the osmotic concentrations in the intra-thick ascending limb (TAL) and interstitium at multiple levels are simulated/determined in the two figures in the article. Second, it allows readers to generate alternative data set(s), i.e., alternative values of osmotic concentrations inside and outside the TAL at multiple levels. Finally, it points out the future direction of research. Instructions for how to use the supplemental Excel file are provided in each of the two tabs. <br> <br> <br>

本补充Excel文件为发表于《生理学教育进展》（*Advances in Physiology Education*）的题为《对外髓质皮质乳头渗透压梯度形成过程中逆流倍增机制的更优阐释》的论文提供支持。本文件具备以下三项功能：其一，阐释本文两幅插图中，髓袢升支粗段（TAL，thick ascending limb）管腔内及不同层级组织间隙的渗透压浓度是如何被模拟与确定的。其二，支持读者生成替代数据集，即髓袢升支粗段内外不同层级的渗透压浓度可选数值。其三，指明了该领域未来的研究方向。本补充Excel文件的使用说明已在其两个工作表标签中分别给出。
