Hypothetically... What would happen if all the loops of henle shortened, to the extend that they could not reach the medullary region of the kidney? (In a human) I would love answers no longer than a paragraph or two please that are relatively easy to understand but not preschool as i have some basic understanding. Thanks so much.
Loops of henle - what would happen if it shortened and didnt reach the medullary region of the kidney?
Well, the medulla is the place where the urine is concentrated to an osmotic strength higher than the blood plasma; that would no longer work, so urine could maximally have the osmotic strength of blood plasma. As long as one drinks enough, that would not be so much of a problem.
