Question

Function of loop of Henle is

• A. Conservation of water
• B. Formation of urine
• C. Filtration of blood
• D. Passage of urine

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Conservation of water

The nephron is the structural and functional unit of the kidney. The body of the nephron is divided into renal corpuscle, proximal convoluted tubule ( PCT), Henle's loop and distal convoluted tubule( DCT). The primary function of the Loop of Henle is the recovery of water and sodium chloride from the filtrate. Hence function of Loop of Henle is conservation of water.

So, the correct answer is 'Conservation of water'.
