|
|
remove water and additional solutes.
|
|
|
help regulate aldosterone secretion.
|
|
|
increase the rate of active transport of Na+ in the distal tubules and collecting ducts.
|
|
|
dilute the filtrate by removing solutes.
|
Detailed explanation-1: -A: The ascending limb of the loop of Henle functions to dilute the filtrate by removing solutes. The thin segment of the ascending limb is not permeable to water, but it is permeable to solutes. B: The cuboidal cells of the distal tubule and collecting duct function to remove water and additional solutes.
Detailed explanation-2: -The ascending limb of Henle’s loop is impermeable to water but permeable to electrolytes. As a result, the filtrate gets diluted as it moves up the ascending limb of Henle’s loop.
Detailed explanation-3: -Ascending Loop of Henle This loop runs downstream from the descending loop. The descending loop leads to a sharp bend, after which the ascending loop continues. The ascending loop has a thin and thick portion. The thick ascending limb is called the distal straight tubule.
