Abstract

The original fluid circuit theory used to explain active intestinal absorption of chloride is modified to include diffusion and secretion of chloride and osmosis. The general differential equation developed is integrated in a particular case. The definition, "effective concentration of chloride in the fluid passing into the intestinal lumen," leads to simplified general expressions. © 1940 Psychometric Corporation.
