Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -In majority of nephrons, the loop of Henle is too short and extends only very little into the medulla. Such nephrons are called as cortical nephrons. In some of the nephrons, the loop of Henle is very long and runs deep into the medulla. These nephrons are called as juxtamedullary nephrons.
Detailed explanation-3: -So the correct answer is ‘Kangaroo rat’.
Detailed explanation-4: -So, the correct answer is ‘Kangaroo Rat’.
Detailed explanation-5: -Long-looped nephrons have a descending loop of Henle that dips deep into the inner medulla, makes a hairpin turn, and returns towards the outer medulla as the ascending thin loop of Henle. Short-looped nephrons possess only a descending thin loop of Henle that is confined to the outer medulla.
