Question

The inner medulla of the kidney is ________ to the loop of Henle and therefore, water leaves the loop at the descending limb and collecting duct.

Answer 1

Answer:

The Renal Medulla

Explanation:

The renal medulla is the innermost part of the kidney. The renal medulla is split up into a number of sections.The Loop of Henle (LoH) is a long, straight, tubular segment connecting the proximal tubule to the distal convoluted tubule and lies parallel to the collecting ducts. The LoH descends from the cortex or medulla (depending on the size/length of the nephron) into the papilla of the kidney.
