Medulla, Dry(High NA+)
Arterial blood (to be filtered)
Venous blood
Loop of HenleMostly long loopsin desert adapted species(short loops in aquatic species)
3 - Water
1 – Filtration2 – Secretion and reabsorption of Na, creates high concentration Na3 – Reabsorption (longer loop, higher [Na] in medulla, dryer urine)
Urine, withWastes and excesswater
Renal blood flow = 1.25 L/min = ¼ cardiac output
