Counter current multiplier causes gradual osmotic outflow of water from the filtrate back to kidney as it passes downward in the :
Correct answer: C. Descending loop of Henle
- A. Proximal Tubule
- B. Collecting Duct
- C. Descending loop of Henle
- D. Distal Tubule
Explanation
Water is passively reabsorbed from the filtrate back into blood stream while passing through the descending limb of loop of Henle.

About Homeostasis
Homeostasis maintains a stable internal environment through the kidney and urinary system, thermoregulation and excretion. The kidney topics include filtration, selective reabsorption, urine formation and water balance, while thermoregulation involves sweating, vasodilation, vasoconstriction and hormonal control; excretion is different from egestion, which removes undigested food.
