the primary function of the ascending loop of henle in the kidney
The proximal convoluted tubule drains into the loop of Henle.
The major process that occurs in the loop of Henle is the reabsorption of water and electrolytes, such as sodium and chloride. The loop of Henle creates a concentration gradient in the kidney that is necessary for the formation of concentrated urine.
No.
a camel.long loop of henle allows greater concentration of urine resulting in greater conservation of water.
The loop of Henle is the U-shaped segment of the nephron located in the kidney. It plays a key role in reabsorbing water and salts from the filtrate to maintain fluid balance in the body. The loop of Henle is composed of a descending and an ascending limb.

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)
