Video - Loop of Henle

The loop of Henle is a part of the Nephron in the kidneys, which helps to reabsorb water and salt from the kidney tubules. It has three main parts, the thin descending limb which is where water moves out of the tubule through aquaporin proteins, the thin ascending limb which is where sodium and chloride move out of the tubule through channel proteins, and the thick ascending limb which is where sodium, potassium, and chloride move out of the tubule through a carrier protein and channel proteins.
