Detailed explanation-1: -In the kidney, the loop of Henle (English: /ˈhɛnli/) (or Henle’s loop, Henle loop, nephron loop or its Latin counterpart ansa nephroni) is the portion of a nephron that leads from the proximal convoluted tubule to the distal convoluted tubule.
Detailed explanation-2: -Approximately 85% of the nephrons have a short loop of Henle that does not dip beyond the cortex. These nephrons are called cortical nephrons. The remaining 15% of nephrons have long loops of Henle that extend deep into the medulla and are called juxtamedullary nephrons (Fig. 7.3).
Detailed explanation-3: -Ascending Loop of Henle The thick ascending limb is called the distal straight tubule. This drains into the distal convoluted tubule (DCT). The thin segment is permeable to ions and impermeable to water. Here, the salt moves out due to osmotic pressure.
