Question

What is the effect of countercurrent multiplier in the loop of Henle?

Answer 1

Answer:

Water is reabsorbed in the descending loop of Henle.

Explanation:

The descending loop of Henle accepts about 300m 0sm/L of isotonic liquid from the proximal convoluted tubule. This part of the loop of Henle as high permeability for water but less permeability for ions, meaning that it allows water to pass through it easily. This means that water can easily be reabsorbed at the descending loop of Henle, but solutes can not.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is "Water is reabsorbed in the descending loop of Henle".

Explanation:

The loop of Henle is a structure of the body located at the kidneys that conducts urine within each nephron. The effect of countercurrent multiplier in the loop of Henle is that water is reabsorbed in its descending part. The body reacts to the countercurrent multiplier by increasing water  permeability in the late distal tubule and collecting ducts of the renal tubules.
