=>the floor of the humeral filtrate in the two Limbs of henle's loop and the flow of blood through the two names of Vasa recta are the counter current pattern
=>the proximity between the henle's loop and Vasa recta and the counter current Indain maintenance higher osmolarity towards the inner medullary interstitium then in the cortex this gradient is mainly caused by NaCl and urea
=>NaCl is transported by the ascending Limb of henle's loop which is exchanged with the descending Limb of Vasa recta NaCl is return to the interstitium by the ascending portion of Vasa recta
=>similarly small amounts of Urea enter the theme segment of the ascending Limb of henle's loop which is transported back to the Interstitium by the collecting tubule
=>this countercurrent mechanism maintains a concentration gradient in the modular Re interstitium which helps in the easy passage of water from the collecting tubule thereby concentrating the filtrate (urine )
