Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ascending limb of the Henle's loop is the region where active transport of NaCl takes place, as it is impermeable to water but allows the reabsorption of ions. The descending limb is permeable to water, allowing for passive reabsorption, but not to ions. The other choices, long loop, short loop, and basement membrane, are not specific regions within the Henle's loop.
