Question

write down the functional activity of vasa recta​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Vasa recta are the series of long loops of thin-walled blood vessels (efferent arterioles) that dip down alongside the loop of Henle in the vertebrate kidney. ... - This hairpin structure turns down the rate of blood flow, which helps in maintaining the osmotic gradient required for water reabsorption.

Answer 2

Answer:

function=the vasa recta bring nutrients and oxygen to the medullary nephron segments but, more importantly, they also remove the water and solute that is continuously added to the medullary interstitium by these nephron segments.

Explanation:

The vasa recta of the kidney, (vasa rectae renis) are the straight arterioles, and the straight venules of the kidney, – a series of blood vessels in the blood supply of the kidney that enter the medulla as the straight arterioles, and leave the medulla to ascend to the cortex as the straight venules
