In the blood supply of the kidney, the vasa recta renis form a series of straight capillaries that descend from the cortex into the medulla. These vessels branch off the efferent arterioles of juxtamedullary nephrons , enter the medulla, and surround the loop of Henle. On a slide, vasa recta can be distinguished from the tubules of the loop of Henle by the presence of blood. Each of the vasa...
