| 1. | Cortical nephrons have a shorter loop of Henle compared to juxtamedullary nephrons.
|
| 2. | Flow of the fluid through the entire loop of Henle is considered slow.
|
| 3. | Considerable differences aid in distinguishing the descending and ascending limbs of the loop of Henle.
|
| 4. | The straight arterioles are peritubular capillaries, specifically those that surround the loop of Henle.
|
| 5. | The loop of Henle is a U-shaped tube that extends from the proximal tubule.
|
| 6. | The hydrogen ion is exchanged for the Na in the tubular fluid of the loop of Henle.
|
| 7. | The loop of Henle is the major site for magnesium homeostasis, and 60 % is reabsorbed.
|
| 8. | The point where DCT contacts the cortical thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle is called macula densa.
|
| 9. | The thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle begins at the deeper portion of the renal outer medulla.
|
| 10. | The longer loop of Henle in juxtamedullary nephrons create a hyperosmolar gradient that allows for the creation of concentrated urine.
