What is the function of the ascending limb of the loop of henle?
The function of the ascending loop of henle is draw Sodium out of the filtrate. The ability of the ascending loop to actively transport sodium into the surrounding tissue is directly related to the amount of water that can be diffused out of the descending loop of henle. (main factor in water re-absorption)
What is the function of descending limb of Henle hoop?
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.
What portion of the nephron does not absorb water passively by osmomis?
The Ascending potion of the henle's loop. Since it it is impermeable to water but permeable to electrolytes.
What is the most hyper osmotic portion of the kidney-specifically?
the ascending loop of henle
The capillary bed that surrounds the descending and ascending loop of Henle is called the?
Is drained by an efferent arteriole.
Is there anything that solids can pass through but liquids cant?
Yes, the ascending limb of the loop of Henle.

The Segment of the nephron that is not permeable to water even in the presence of vasopressin is called what?
The Ascending limb of the loop of Henle
What is the function of the function descending loop of henle?
It reabsorbs water from Renal Tubules.
What are the main functions of the Loop of Henle in urine formation?
absorption of water (from descending limb), absorption of Na+ (from ascending limb)
Where is the loop of the Henle?
The Loop of Henle is situated in the Kidney. It is a part of the nephron.
The capillary bed that surrounds the descending and ascending loop of Henle of juxtamedullary nephrons is called the?
