They provide ATP necessary for active transport.
The loop of Henle takes part in the transport of ions and reabsorbes urea.
The most distal portion of the nephron is the
kidney
Filtration, Reabsorption, and Secretion
In the ascending loop, Na+ (or any solute) is actively pumped out of the tubule. As flow continues up the loop, the tubular concentration decreases as does the interstitial (the fluid surrounding the loop) concentration.Because water is impermeable in the ascending loop, the volume at the bottom of the loop is the same as that entering the distal tubule. At the bottom of the loop, the tubular and interstitial concentrations are equal.The ascending loop of Henle actively pumps sodium and potassium out but water can not follow. This concentrates the water inside the loop of Henle.
The Loop of Henle is situated in the Kidney. It is a part of the nephron.
