Question

The function of loop Henle is

• A. Dilution of urine
• B. Removal of water
• C. Remove salt
• D. Counter current multiplier system

Answer 1

The correct option is D Counter current multiplier system

The loop of Henle is found in the medulla of the Kidney. Its primary function is reabsorption of NaCl and water. Through the counter-current multiplier effect, a hypertonic medulla is created allowing reabsorption of water from the collecting duct and the descending limb via osmosis.

So, the correct option is 'Option D, Counter current multiplier system.'.
