Which region of the kidney nephron would normally contain salts?
Correct answer: C. Option C
- A. Option A
- B. Option B
- C. Option C
- D. Option D
Explanation
Most of the water is reabsorbed from nephrons in the descending loop of Henle. Therefore, Ascending loop of Henle has the highest concentration of Salts. The liquid entering the loop of Henle is the solution of salt, urea, and other substances passed along by the proximal convoluted tubule, from which most of the dissolved components needed by the body-particularly glucose, amino acids, and sodium bicarbonate-have been reabsorbed into the blood. Sodium is reabsorbed in the thick ascending limb of the 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.
