ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The kidney conserves water by first diluting urine as it moves through the loop of Henle and then concentrating urine in the distal tubules and collecting ducts (the latter under the influence of antidiuretic hormone or ADH).

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Anti-diuretic hormone helps to control blood pressure by acting on the kidneys and the blood vessels. Its most important role is to conserve the fluid volume of your body by reducing the amount of water passed out in the urine.

Detailed explanation-4: -Glomerular Filteration. Glomerular filtration occurs in the glomerulus where blood is filtered. Reabsorption. Around 99 per cent of the filtrate obtained is reabsorbed by the renal tubules. Secretion. The next step in urine formation is tubular secretion. Urine. 31-May-2020
