Explanation / Answer
a) Loop of henle can be described as the thinnest section of nephron because in the kidney the loop of henle or nephron loop on the portion of nephron that leads from proximal tubule to the distal convoluted tubule. The German anatomist Friedrich Gustav names the loop of henle main function is to create a concentrate gradient in medulla of kidney.
b) Bowmans capsule can be best described as a tuft of capillaries because a kidney renal corpuscles is composed of tangled clusters of blood capillaries called Glumerulus and a thin walled sacred like structure can Bowmans capsule.
c) ANP (Atrial nutriuretic Peptide) also called Atrial nutriuretic factor is a powerful vasodilator and a protein harmone secreted by heart muscle cells and other is involved in control of body water, sodium, potassium and fat.
