What is Water and Electrolyte Transport by the Avian Ceca about?
In galliform birds with well developed ceca, these are functionally important components of the lower intestinal complex, which is capable as a whole of substantial, hormone-regulated homeostatic modification of mixed urine and intestinal luminal fluid before final excretion. Active Na+ transport drives Na-linked absorption of water and Cl- and secretion of K+; there are also lesser Na-independent components of the latter fluxes. These transport processes are appropriately enhanced by dehydration, Na depletion, or exogenous aldosterone.
