The collecting ducts and the loop of Henle are located in the <u>medulla</u> of the kidney.

Explanation:

The kidney consists of the three main regions – outer cortex, middle medulla, and the inner renal pelvis regions.

The main function of filtering and elimination of waste takes place in the medullary regions of the kidney.

Renal medulla is arranged into renal pyramid like structures. The medulla comprises the collecting ducts, loop of Henle, vasa recta and interstitium.

The collecting duct or tubule is a long slender twisting tube which collects the fluid (urine) from the nephrons and transports to the inner renal pelvis region of the kidney.

The loop of Henle is a highly convoluted U-shaped tubule with an ascending and a descending limb. This loop facilitates reabsorption of water and sodium ions necessary for the body from the filtrate formed .

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

The correct answer is "a hypertonic solution".

Explanation:

Seawater is the most clear example of a hypertonic solution in nature. The concentration of ions in seawater are far more superior than the concentration of ions inside a plant or an animal cell, since seawater have an osmolarity of about 1000 mOsm/l. Therefore, at high tide a plant or animal cell will be in a hypertonic solution, and the cells must have adaptions to avoid cell shrinking and dead.
