Question

Longer the loop of Henle more hypertonic is the urine produced. Is this statement true or false? If false, rewrite it correctly.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

The principal function of the loop of Henle is the recovery of water and sodium chloride from the urine. This function allows production of urine that is far more concentrated than blood, limiting the amount of water needed as intake for survival. Longer the loop of Henle, greater is it's the ability to concentrate urine resulting in more hypertonic urine.

So, the statement longer the loop of Henle more hypertonic is the urine produced is true.
