Detailed explanation-1: -loop of Henle, long U-shaped portion of the tubule that conducts urine within each nephron of the kidney of reptiles, birds, and mammals. The principal function of the loop of Henle is in the recovery of water and sodium chloride from urine.
Detailed explanation-2: -This part is wholly within the renal cortex. The next part of the tubule is highly coiled (the proximal convoluted tubule) and empties into a U-shaped loop which carries the filtered fluid deep down into the medulla and then back again into the cortex. This part of the nephron is called the loop of Henle.
Detailed explanation-3: -So the correct answer is ‘Kangaroo rat’.
Detailed explanation-4: -They discover that the loop of Henle plays an important role in concentrating urine by generating a hypertonic medullary interstitium in a process called countercurrent multiplication.
