Worked practice questions
Where does the descending limb extend?
- Into the ureter
- Into the renal pelvis
- Into the medulla
- Into the bladder
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: C. Into the medulla
The descending limb carries the loop into the medulla.
What is a primary role of the loop of Henle?
- Enabling concentrated urine
- Filtering blood cells
- Moving urine to bladder
- Storing urine temporarily
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: A. Enabling concentrated urine
The loop helps produce concentrated urine by making medullary fluid hypertonic.
