A long, U-shaped section of the tubular component of the nephron is known as the Henle&#039;s loop or loop of Henle. Water cannot pass through the ascending limb of the loop of Henle, but electrolytes may. Water can pass through the loop of Henle&#039;s descending limb, but electrolytes cannot. The ascending limb of the henle loop experiences the least amount of reabsorption.Answer is 2 and 4.
