Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The ascending limb of loop of Henle is a segment of the nephron in the kidney divided into a thin and thick ascending limb. The thin ascending limb is impermeable to water and ions, except sodium and chloride, which cross by diffusion.
Detailed explanation-2: -The thin ascending limb is impermeable to water; but is permeable to ions allowing for some sodium reabsorption.
Detailed explanation-3: -This segment is fundamentally impermeable to water, moderately permeable to urea, and highly permeable to Na+ and Cl-.
