Moves in the pct - most reabsorption occurs here - 65% Moves in the descending loop of henle - permeable to water and solutes. Concentration of the solute is very high on the outside - sucks water from the nephron. Moves up the loop of henle - thin part (permeable to solutes) Ascending limb - not changing the volume but you"re making it weaker - less concentrated - dilute. Addition of water and addition of solute maintains the concentration. Vasa recta flows in the opposite direction - permeable to solutes and water. When it is weak it is able to take out solutes. As blood moves down it get"s concentrated. All water that was removed from the descending limb wants to go to the vasa recta -
