Question

Differentiate between ascending limb and descending limb of Henle's loop​

Answer 1

Answer:

The thin descending limb has low permeability to ions and urea, while being highly permeable to water. The loop has a sharp bend in the renal medulla going from descending to ascending thin limb. The thick ascending limb is impermeable to water, but it is permeable to ions.

Answer 2

The ascending and the descending limbs of loop of henle are different in their permeability of water.

Explanation:

• The ascending limb of loop of henle is impermeable to water but it is permeable to the electrolyte.

• However in the descending limb of the loop of henle there is permeability of water but it is most impermeable to the electrolyte.

• The ascending loop connects the descending loop and the dct.

• The descending loop connects the pct and ascending loop.
