Question
If Henle's loop were absent from mammalian nephron, which of the following is to be expected?
The urine will be more concentrated
The urine will be more dilute
There will be no urine formation
There will be hardly any change in the quality and quantity of urine formed
Solution
C.
There will be no urine formation
The main function of the Henle's loop is to absorb water from the tubular lumen, thus making the urine concentrated. If loop of Henle becomes absent then the urine becomes more dilute.
