[ANIMAL PHYSIOLOGY] The loop of Henle in the mammalian renal tubule. Select one: O a. produces a countercurrent flow that results in a continuous increase in the osmolarity of the tubule contents, from the beginning to the end of the loop. Ob. is permeable to water and salts only in the descending limb. O C. produces a countercurrent flow that increases the efficiency of salt reabsorption. O d. produces a countercurrent flow that increases the efficiency of water reabsorption. e. is shortest in animals that live in desert environments.

The bodily fluids of freshwater fish contain higher concentration of dissolved solids in their surroundings, so they tend to bloat (take in water) or lose electrolytes.
