Vedclass · Answer

(C) The loop of Henle is a specialized structure in the nephron responsible for the concentration of urine,allowing animals to excrete hypertonic urine to conserve water.It is a characteristic feature of mammals and birds (to some extent).Frogs (amphibians) possess mesonephric kidneys and primarily excrete dilute (hypotonic) urine as they live in aquatic or moist environments where water conservation is not as critical as in terrestrial mammals.Therefore,the loop of Henle is absent in frogs.

Column-$I$	Column-$II$
$P$. Structures in renal cortex	$I$. Descending limb of Henle
$Q$. Structures in renal medulla	$II$. Proximal convoluted tubule $(PCT)$
	$III$. Distal convoluted tubule $(DCT)$
	$IV$. Ascending limb of Henle
	$V$. Collecting duct
	$VI$. Duct of Bellini
	$VII$. Afferent arteriole
	$VIII$. Efferent arteriole

Henle's loops are found in those animals which excrete hypertonic urine. One of the following does not have Henle's loop.
