What is the effect of the loop of Henle in the mammalian kidney?

Answer 1

The loop of Henle is the portion of the nephron
between the proximal and distal convoluted tubules that extends, in a loop, from the cortex into the medulla of the kidney. There are 1,000,000 nephrons in each kidney. These nephrons process the blood to make urine via its tuft of capillaries called the glomerulus in each nephron. The loop of Henle uses countercurrent multiplier mechanism in the medulla to reabsorb water,sodium, chloride and ions from urine, thus concentrating the urine with metabolic waste products, primarily urea and creatinine which are excreted. .

Answer 3

The loop of Henle has 2 basic functions. Operating by the counter-current multiplier, the descending loop of Henle is for the reabsorption of water, and the ascending loop for the reaborption of NaCl from the filtrate from the glomerulus and proximal convoluted tubule. =)

Answer 4

The butterfly result is a term utilized in chaos concept to describe how small adjustments to a possible unrelated ingredient or situation (additionally widely used as an preliminary situation) can impression super, complicated structures. The term comes from the suggestion that the flapping of a butterfly's wings in South united states of america ought to impression the climate in Texas, meaning that the tiniest effect on one area of a equipment could have a extensive result on yet another area. Taken greater extensively, the butterfly result is a fashion of describing how, till all components could be accounted for, super structures like the climate stay impossible to foretell with entire accuracy via fact there are too many unknown variables to hint.

Answer 6

sorry I`m not very good in Biology, and this is the third time I answered your question.


maybe it`s related with the reabsorption of urine.....
