Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The primary site of sodium reabsorption in the Loop of Henle is the thick ascending limb (TAL).
Detailed explanation-2: -The loop of Henle is a part of the nephron in the kidneys. The loop of Henle is found in the medulla part of the nephron. In the majority of nephrons, the loop of Henle extends only a little into the medulla because of being short, such nephrons are referred to as cortical nephrons.
Detailed explanation-3: -Descending limb is the first part of the loop of Henle. It helps to maintain the concentration of urine. It is highly permeable to water thus water is readily reabsorbed from the descending limb by osmosis. It is impermeable to sodium and chloride ions.
