Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The act of drawing urea out of the collecting duct, to draw water out of the nephron loop, only to put that urea back in the filtrate a few steps back.
A
resecretion
B
absorption
C
urea recycling
D
loop of henle
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The urea reabsorbed increases the medullary concentration of the solute, which is critical for the reabsorption of water from the thin inner medullary part of the descending limb of the loop of Henle. Here, there is no osmotic gradient to cause water movement in the diluting kidney.

Detailed explanation-2: -Urethra. This tube allows urine to pass outside the body. The brain signals the bladder muscles to tighten, which squeezes urine out of the bladder. At the same time, the brain signals the sphincter muscles to relax to let urine exit the bladder through the urethra.

Detailed explanation-3: -Vasopressin increases the water permeability of the renal collecting duct cells, allowing more water to be reabsorbed from collecting duct urine to blood.
