Revision Concept: Functions of Renal Tubules -

Henle’s Loop:

  • Reabsorption is minimum in its ascending limb. However, this region plays a significant role in the maintenance of high osmolarity of medullary interstitial fluid.
  • The descending limb of the loop of Henle is permeable to water but impermeable to electrolytes. 
  • This concentrates the filtrate as it moves down. 
  • The ascending limb is impermeable to water but allows transport of electrolytes actively or passively. 
  • Therefore, as the concentrated filtrate passes upward, it gets diluted due to the passage of electrolytes to the medullary fluid.
