2. Urea
3. Both A and B
4. Ammonia
The NaCl which is transported by the ascending limb of Henle's loop which is exchanged with the…….
1. Ascending limb of vasa recta
2. Descending limb of vasa recta
3. Ascending limb of LOH
4. Descending limb of LOH
NaCl is returned to the interstitium by
1. Ascending portion of LOH
2. Ascending portion of vasa recta
3. Descending portion of LOH
4. Descending portion of vasa recta
