Concentration of urine depends upon which organ?
  1. A
    Bowman's capsule
  2. B
    Length of Henle's loop
  3. C
    PCT
  4. D
    Network of capillaries arising from glomerulus

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.
