Question

Function of Loop of Henle is:
$\left( A \right)$ Conservation of water
$\left( B \right)$ Formation of urine
$\left( C \right)$ Filtration of blood
$\left( D \right)$ Passage of urine

Answer 1

Hint: In the kidney, the loop of Henle is the portion of a nephron that leads from the proximal convoluted tubule to the distal convoluted tubule.

Complete step-by-step answer:
The nephron is the structural and functional unit of the kidney. The body of the nephron is divided into renal corpuscle, proximal convoluted tubule (PCT), Henle’s loop and distal convoluted tubule (DCT). The primary function of the Loop of Henle is the recovery of water and sodium chloride from the filtrate.
Hence, the function of the Loop of Henle is conservation of water.
So, the correct option is $\left( A \right)$.

Note: Loop of Henle is a long, U-shaped portion of the tubule that conducts urine within each nephron of kidneys of reptiles, birds and mammals. Its principal function is recovery of water and sodium chloride from urine.
