Urine Formation: Tubular Reabsorption in Loop of Henle -

Reabsorption in Descending Loop of Henle:

  • As the filtrate moves down the descending loop of Henle, water is reabsorbed due to an increase in the osmolarity of the interstitial fluid.
  • Solutes are not absorbed.
  • The filtrate becomes hypertonic to blood plasma.

Reabsorption in Ascending Loop of Henle:

  • This segment is impermeable to water and permeable to potassium, chlorine and sodium.
  • Hence, potassium, chlorine and sodium are reabsorbed and the filtrate becomes hypotonic.
