Loop of Henle

Yes...sort of. The loop of Henle in the kidney reabsorbs water and salts that have been removed from the blood during ultra-filtration. If the loop of Henle did not reclaim these products, your blood would not be able to maintain the levels...
i swear its actually long in reptiles? long loop of henle allows for increased water reabsorption. if more water is reabsorped, urine is far more concentrated so less water is wasted? Thats what i thought anyway.
In the kidney, the loop of Henle is the portion of the nephron that leads from the proximal convoluted tubule to the distal convoluted tubule. The loop has a hairpin bend in the renal medulla. The main function of this structure is to reabs...

The thick descending limb contains the most dilute filtrate (it is not called urine at this stage). It become more concentrated as it travels through the loop of Henle. It should be noted that this is not because more solute is added but in...

Certain parts of the loop of henle are permeable to NaCl contributing to the osmolarity of the interstitial fluid. Because of the high osmolarity, it causes the reabsorption of water in the kidney, thus, concentrating the urine.

No. It is the ascending loop of Henle that is doing sodium reabsorption in the loop.

No, the order in which urine filtrate occurs is it is filtered thru thru glomerular membrane into bowman's capsule which is actually the enlarged end of the proximal convoluted tubule from there it goes thru the loop of henle then to the di...

The Loop of Henle is part of the tubular component of the nephron (functional unit of the kidney). It follows the proximal convoluted tubule and forms a sharp U-shaped or hairpin loop that dips into the renal medulla. It is important becaus...
