Question

Explain the Term: Loop of Henle

Answer 1

Loop of Henle: The cells that comprise the loop of Henle are well-adapted for diffusion, filtration, and selective reabsorption. The final changes in the composition and the volume of the nephric filtrate occurs in the loop of Henle and the distal convoluted loop of the tubule. Glucose, amino acids, water, mineral salts, and some other substances leave the loop of Henle to pass into the blood capillaries that surround it.
