We can produce a concentrated/ dilute urine. This is facilitated by a special mechanism. Identify the mechanism.
पर्याय

उत्तर
Counter current mechanism in Henle’s loop/Vasa recta
Explanation:
Counter current mechanism operates between the two limbs of the loop of Henle and those of vasa recta. The filtrate becomes concentrated when it moves down the descending limb but is diluted by the ascending limb.
