Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The descending limb of the loop of Henle is permeable to water. Water diffuses into the hyperosmolar medullary interstitium. The osmolarity can reach a maximum of 1200 mOsm/L at the tip of the medullary interstitium in antidiuresis. The ascending limb (where loop diuretics work) is impermeable to water.
