    What for the ascending limb of loop of Henie is permeable?

    A)  Glucose                              

    B)  \[N{{H}_{3}}\]

    C)  Na                                        

    D)  Water

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    The thin segment of the ascending limb of Henle's loop is structurally like the descending limb, but its permeability is different. It is quite permeable to Nad but not to water. Due to decreasing    osmolality    of    medullary interstitium towards cortex, the tubular fluid, therefore, loses Na+ and \[\text{C}{{\text{l}}^{\text{-}}}\] by diffusion, again becoming diluted and isotonic to plasma without changing in volume.
