Question

Osmotic concentration of Glomerular Filtrate reaches a maximum in which part of the nephron and how much is the maximum?

• A. Loop of Henle, 1200
• B. DCT, 12000
• C. Loop of Henle, 300
• D. PCT, 300

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Loop of Henle, 1200

Countercurrent mechanism in the loop of Henle helps in maintaining a high osmotic concentration. i.e. 1200 m $0sm{l}^{-1}$
