What is the function of the Loop of Henle?

The loop of Henle is found in the medulla of the Kidney. Its primary function is reabsorption of NaCl and water. Through the counter-current multiplier effect, a hypertonic medulla is created allowing reabsorption of water from the collecting duct and the descending limb via osmosis.
