Concentration of urine depends upon which organ?
- ABowman's capsule
- BLength of Henle's loop
- CPCT
- DNetwork of capillaries arising from glomerulus
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
Concentration of urine depends upon the length of Henle’s loop. Loop of Henle is the hairpin shaped section of a kidney tubule situated between the proximal and distal tubules in the nephron. It consists of a thin descending limb which is permeable to water and a thick ascending limb which is impermeable to water, complex movements of ions and water across the walls of the loop enable it to function as a countercurrent multiplier, resulting in the production of concentrated urine in the collecting duct.
