-tubule segment that usually has the largest increase in osmolarity

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The descending segment of the loop of Henle is where water is reabsorbed into the surrounding tissues, leading to an increase in the osmolarity of the filtrate as it moves down this segment. This is because this segment is permeable to water but not to solutes, causing the filtrate to become more concentrated as it loses water.
