Q. The urine is concentrated by which part of nephron?

A
Bowman's capsule
B
Length of Henle's loop
C
PCT
D
Network of capillaries arising from glomerulus
Solution:
  • The principal function of the loop of Henle is in the recovery of water and sodium chloride from urine.
  • This function allows production of urine that is far more concentrated than blood, limiting the amount of water needed as intake for survival.
  • loop of Henle, long U-shaped portion of the tubule that conducts urine within each nephron of the kidney of reptiles, birds, and mammals.
