[q] The thick and thin ascending limbs of the loop of Henle are impermeable to …………….?. In the ascending limb, the osmolarity of the tubular fluid decreases due to passive reabsorption of ……….. in the thin region as well as active transport of electrolytes out of the lumen by ……… cotransporter in the thick portion.
