What happens to the NaCl that leaves the filtrate at the thin segment of the loop of Henle?

It is moved by Na-K-2Cl co-transporters across the loop of henle into the vasa recta. There are other co-transporters which move sodium, glucose, chloride and other ions back into the circulation.

What is the horse shaped segment of the nephron?
loop of Henle
The U-shaped segment of the nephron is the?
The most distal portion of the nephron is the
What are the components of the renal tubule as they are encountered by filtrate?
proximal continuous tubule loop of henle distal continuous tubule
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 path filtrate as it passes through the nephron?
This is the pathway of filtration, which takes place in the nephron:1-Glomerulus and Bowman's capsule: Filtration of water and dissolved solutes occurs as the blood is forced through the walls of glamerulus into the Bowman's capsule by fluid pressure in the capillaries ( capillary beds).2-Proximal tubule: Selective reabsorption of nutrients from filtrate back into blood by active and passive transport.3-Descending limb of loop of henle: This is permeable to water resulting in loss of water from filtrate by osmosis. Salt becomes concentrated in the filtrate as descending limb penetrates inner medulla of kidney.4-Ascending limb of loop of henle: Thin segment of ascending limb of loop of henle in permeable to salt resulting in diffusion of salt out of ascending limb.5-Distal tubule: Selective reabsorption of nutrients from blood into nephron by active transport.6-Collecting Duct: Urine formation.
Do nephrons form urine?
Blood is filtered through the bowmans capsule (large proteins are left in the bloodstream). The fluid that remains in the nephron after filtration is called the filtrate.The filtrate enters the proximal tubule. Glucose, amino acids, and water are secreted (released into bloodstream). The filtrate begins to darken with less water in it.The filtrate then moves on to the Loop of Henle. On descent, water leaves the filtrate by osmosis and on ascent; sodium and chloride leave the filtrate by active transport. This is necessary to produce concentrated urine. The loop of henle becomes less permeable as it goes ascends so less sodium and chloride leave the filtrate as the filtrate makes its way up the loop.The filtrate then moves on to the Distal Tubule where pH is regulated and sodium potassium, and calcium levels are controlled. The filtrate becomes more concentrated here.The filtrate then moves into the Collecting Duct. The collecting duct is what connects the nephrons to the ureter. It participates in electrolyte and fluid balance through reabsorption and excretion.(I did this for a Grade 12 Biology lab so this is just a collection of stuff I got off the internet from various good sources! anybody else who was just as confused as I was when I got this question!)
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 happens to filtered blood after it leaves the nephron?
Glomerular filterate goes into the bowmans capsule then gets transported along the first convuluted tubule, then descending part of thr loop of henle, then the ascending part of the loop of henle, then the second convuluted tubule, then into the collecting duct and onwards to the ureters, then into the bladder and out through the urethra and into the specimen pot for your illegal drug tests.nephron loop
Trace the flow of filtrate and urine through the urinary system?
The flow of filtrate and urine through the urinary system can be traced as follows: Glomerulus----> Capsular space---> Proximal convoluted tubule---> descending loop of Henle----> ascending loop of Henle---> distal convoluted tubule---> Collecting duct----> papillary duct------> minor calyce----> major calyce----> renal pelvis-----> ureters-----> urinary bladder-----> external urethral orifice
