Detailed explanation-1: -Vasa recta is associated with kidneys. These are the straight arterioles or capillaries of the kidneys present in the medulla region. They are parallel to the loop of Henle.
Detailed explanation-2: -Vasa Recta Function Not only do the vasa recta bring nutrients and oxygen to the medullary nephron segments but, more importantly, they also remove the water and solute that is continuously added to the medullary interstitium by these nephron segments.
Detailed explanation-3: -Vasa rectae carry the glomerular filtrate from the distal convoluted tubule to the collecting duct.
Detailed explanation-4: -The vasa recta capillaries are long, hairpin-shaped blood vessels that run parallel to the loops of Henle. The hairpin turns slow the rate of blood flow, which helps maintain the osmotic gradient required for water reabsorption.
