ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -This part of the nephron is called the loop of Henle. Its main function is to reabsorb water and sodium chloride from the filtrate. This conserves water for the organism, producing highly concentrated urine.

Detailed explanation-2: -The loop of Henle (sometimes known as the nephron loop) is a U-shaped tube that consists of a descending limb and ascending limb. It begins in the cortex, receiving filtrate from the proximal convoluted tubule, extends into the medulla, and then returns to the cortex to empty into the distal convoluted tubule.

Detailed explanation-3: -loop of Henle, long U-shaped portion of the tubule that conducts urine within each nephron of the kidney of reptiles, birds, and mammals. The principal function of the loop of Henle is in the recovery of water and sodium chloride from urine.

Detailed explanation-4: -The loop of Henle is located in the medulla of the kidneys, it is the next step in the renal tubule process after the proximal tubule.

Detailed explanation-5: -The nephron loop is the U-shaped bend of a nephron which extends through the medulla of the kidney. Histologically, it consists of two parts; thin descending and thin ascending limbs.
