Thin segment of loop of Henle information


The thin segment is a part of the renal tubule found between the proximal and distal tubules. The renal tubule and the renal corpuscle together comprise the nephron.[1]

The thin segment is described as a U-shaped band, consisting of the two continuous parts:

  • descending limb of loop of Henle
  • ascending limb of loop of Henle
