Question
Read the given statements and identify the structure of the kidney referred here.
(i) Re-absorption in this region is minimum.
(ii) This region plays a significant role in the maintenance of high osmolarity of interstitial fluid.
(iii) Its descending limb is permeable to water but almost impermeable to electrolytes.
(iv) Its ascending limb is impermeable to water but allows transport of electrolytes actively or passively.

Solution
The correct option is B Loop of Henle
The descending loop of Henle is a structure found in the nephron that has the minimum capacity for reabsorption. It has an descending limb that is permeable to water but almost impermeable to electrolytes. The ascending limb of the loop of Henle is impermeable to water but allows transport of electrolytes actively or passively.Thus, the correct answer is 'Loop of Henle'.
