Reabsorption In The Loop Of Henle

What are the main substances reabsorbed in the loop of henle

Water and ions

The descending limb of the loop of henle is what to what but NOT to what

Is PERMEABLE to WATER but NOT permeable to IONS

As the loop of henle moves deeper into the what the what in the environment surrounding the nephron what

moves deeper into the RENAL MEDULLA the ION CONCENTRATION in the environment surrounding the nephron INCREASES

this creates a higher what of water inside the what in the loop of henle, and so water is what into the what by what

this creates a higher CONCENTRATION of water inside the FILTRATE in the loop of henle, and so water is REABSORBED into the CAPILLARIES by OSMOSIS

Descending limb

H2O reabsorption by osmosis

As the what reaches the bend of the loop of henle, its what is at its highest

As the FILTRATE reaches the bend of the loop of henle, its ION CONCENTRATION is at its highest

The ascending limb of the loop of henle changes, so it is now more what to what and less what to what

it is now more PERMEABLE to IONS and less PERMEABLE to WATER

Some sodium ions move from the Loop of Henle to the what by what but it is mostly pumped by what back into the what

Some sodium ions move from the Loop of Henle to the CAPILLARIES by PASSIVE TRANSPORT but it is mostly pumped by ACTIVE TRANSPORT back into the BLOOD CAPILLARIES

Negative ions again piggyback into the what with what

Negative ions again piggyback into the BLOOD with POSITIVE IONS

Ascending limb

Na+ reabsorption by active transport. Passive reabsorption of negative ions.
