A
The descending loop of Henle receives hypotonic fluid from the proximal convoluted tubule (PCT).
💡 Explanation:
The descending loop of Henle receives isotonic fluid from the proximal convoluted tubule (PCT). The fluid is isotonic because as ions are reabsorbed by the gradient time system, water is also reabsorbed, maintaining the osmolarity of the fluid in the PCT.
