Vasa Recta is the name given to blood vessels supplying the medullary region of the kidney. They are arranged in a U configuration but flow is opposite to that of the [[Loop Of Henle - Anatomy & Physiology | Loop of Henle]]. The blood vessels descend from the cortex down into the medulla. Its supplies the nutrients and oxygen the [[Loop Of Henle - Anatomy & Physiology | Loop of Henle]] needs. | Vasa Recta is the name given to blood vessels supplying the medullary region of the kidney.
