Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The descending limb of Henle’s loop is permeable to water but impermeable to electrolytes. This makes the filtrate concentrated as it moves down the Henle’s loop. The ascending limb is impermeable to water but permeable to electrolytes. Hence, the filtrate gets diluted as it passes the ascending loop region.
