===The Vasa Recta===

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 [[Reabsorption and Secretion Along 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 [[Reabsorption and Secretion Along the Loop of Henle - Anatomy & Physiology| Loop of Henle]] needs.
