We can produce concentrated? Dilute urine. This is facilitated by a special mechanism. Identify the mechanism.

A

Reabsorption from PCT

B

Reabsorption from Collecting Duct

C

Reabsorption/Secretion in DCT

D

Counter current mechanism in Henle's loop/Vasa recta

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Counter - current mechanism operates in loop of Henle and vasa ractae of efferent arterioles which maintain a medullary gradient.
