The vasa recta
provides more time and space to reabsorb useable stuff
proximal convoluting tubule
what does microvilli
Increases surface area
Primary task of the Loop of Henle
Water reabsorption by creating salt concentration gradient
Remaining filtrate is urine once in
The collecting duct and Distal convoluting tubule
