describe why the loop of Henle is a loop, not a straight line include what substances can leave what sections and the effects that has on both water and salt reabsorption?
Answer
Also, as terminal part of collecting duct is permeable to urea, it
is reabsorbed and enters interstitium.
Hence, urea also contributes to increase insterstitial osmolarity aiding water reabsorbtion.
Hence, loop of Henle is a loop and not a straight
line.
