the vasa recta
MasteringAandP = Vasa Recta
Is drained by an efferent arteriole.
my gooch has herpes, and I am tired of these Myaandp questions.
Vasa Recta
The correct terms are "Bowman's capsule" and "proximal convoluted tubule (PCT)," followed by "loop of Henle," "distal convoluted tubule (DCT)," "collecting duct," and "peritubular capillary." Bowman's capsule is the initial part of the nephron that surrounds the glomerulus, and the PCT is the first segment of the nephron tubule. Each of these structures plays a crucial role in the filtration and reabsorption processes in the kidney.
The Loop of Henle is situated in the Kidney. It is a part of the nephron.
The Loop of Henle is situated in the Kidney. It is a part of the nephron.
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.
