| 1. | It consists of a descending limb and an ascending limb.
|
| 2. | This makes the thick ascending limb impermeable to water.
|
| 3. | The medullary ascending limb remains impermeable to water.
|
| 4. | Considerable differences aid in distinguishing the descending and ascending limbs of the loop of Henle.
|
| 5. | Vasopressin stimulates sodium chloride reabsorption in the thick ascending limb of the nephron by activating signaling pathways.
|
| 6. | The point where DCT contacts the cortical thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle is called macula densa.
|
| 7. | The thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle begins at the deeper portion of the renal outer medulla.
|
| 8. | This outward movement of sodium and the lack of water permeability in the thick ascending limb, creates a more diluted urine.
|
| 9. | "' Bartter syndrome "'is a rare inherited defect in the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle.
|
| 10. | The ascending limb of the loop of Henle receives an even lower volume of fluid and has different characteristics compared to the descending limb.
