Q. Which part of the nephron is impermeable to water?

AIIMSAIIMS 2017Excretory Products and their Elimination

Solution:

Ascending limb of loop of Henle is impermeable to water. Here water is not reabsorbed, rather sodium, potassium, magnesium and chloride are reabsorbed and therefore the filtrate becomes hypotonic to blood plasma.
