Question

Choose the correct answers from the following given.
Fluid within the loop of Henle is most concentrated in the

• A. ascending limb
• B. descending limb
• C. hairpin bend
• D. bend between the ascending limb and the distal tubule

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

bend between the ascending limb and the distal tubule

The Henle's loop is thin tube constituting convoluted tubules and limbs. The different regions of the hairpin loop or Henle's loop show variable permeability . The region showing more permeability toward water will be concentrated as the water from the urine will be removed. Hence the hypertonic urine will be in the ascending limb and ther hypertonicity varies in the distal convoluted tubule.

Hence the correct is D .
