Detailed explanation-1: -This part of the nephron is called the loop of Henle. Its main function is to reabsorb water and sodium chloride from the filtrate. This conserves water for the organism, producing highly concentrated urine.
Detailed explanation-2: -In summary, the loop of Henle is surrounded by tissue fluid which has a high concentration of ions in it. This causes water to move out of the descending limb by osmosis. This produces a more concentrated filtrate because of this, ions move out of the loop in the thin ascending limb.
Detailed explanation-3: -∙ In the loop of Henle, 10% of the water is reabsorbed into the peritubular network by the process of osmosis.
Detailed explanation-4: -Water and NaCl are mainly absorbed from Henle’s loop.
