The vasa recta blood osmolality increases as it descends into the inner medulla. The vasa recta blood serves as the countercurrent exchanger in the mechanism of the nephron in which it is responsible for exchanging the water and the salt between the loops of the vasa recta and the medullary interstitial space.
