Question

Characteristic of metanephric kidney is

• A. Hypotonic urine
• B. Uric acid formation
• C. Loop of Henle
• D. Hormone production

Answer 1

The correct option is C Loop of Henle

Functional kidney of mammals is Metanephros type. The metanephric kidneys are a paired compact organ whose functional units are nephrons. The nephrons filter initial urine from the blood, reabsorbing water and nutrients, and secrete wastes, producing the final urine, which is expelled. The characteristic of the metanephric kidney is the presence of a loop of Henle. The long loop of Henle helps to minimize water loss and maximize reabsorption

So, the correct answer is 'Loop of Henle'.
