Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

At the bend in the loop of Henle, there is a sharp increase in the osmolarity of the tubular fluid due to active transport of salt out of the thin ascending limb, resulting in a concentration gradient that allows for reabsorption of water in the thick descending limb. The osmolarity of the tubular fluid at this point can be more than four times greater than that of the glomerular filtrate.
