The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks where Henle's loop occurs. We need to identify the correct anatomical structure from the given options. 2. **Identifying the Options**: The options provided are: - Seminiferous tubules of frog - Seminiferous tubules of rabbit - Nephrons of mammals - Nephrons of frog 3. **Understanding Henle's Loop**: Henle's loop, also known as the loop of Henle, is a U-shaped structure found in the nephron, which is the functional unit of the kidney. It plays a crucial role in the reabsorption of water and sodium chloride. 4. **Analyzing the Nephrons**: Nephrons are divided into two main parts: - Renal corpuscle (consists of Bowman's capsule and glomerulus, where filtration occurs) - Renal tubules (where reabsorption occurs, including the proximal convoluted tubule, Henle's loop, and distal convoluted tubule) 5. **Determining the Presence of Henle's Loop**: - **Seminiferous tubules of frog**: These are part of the male reproductive system and do not contain Henle's loop. - **Seminiferous tubules of rabbit**: Similar to frogs, these are also part of the reproductive system and do not contain Henle's loop. - **Nephrons of mammals**: Mammals have well-developed nephrons that include Henle's loop, which is essential for water and salt reabsorption. - **Nephrons of frog**: Frogs have shorter nephrons that lack Henle's loop. 6. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the correct answer is that Henle's loop occurs in the **nephrons of mammals**. **Final Answer**: Nephrons of mammals (Option 3). ---
