Describe the blood vessels called vasa recta. What is their function ?

Answer»

Vasa Recta are ‘U’ shaped, thin walled capillaries that arise from efferent arteriole and run parallel to the Henle’s loop. 

They retain the reabsorbed ions in the medullary tissue fluid and maintain its high osmolarity and are involved in the counter current mechanism.
