Physiology

Thick ascending limb of loop of henle

Thick ascending limb of the nephron loop shown as an upward-running renal tubule segment with a straighter, smooth cylindrical course and noticeably thicker wall than the thin limb. The tubule is pale pink to light pink-beige, with a relatively narrow open lumen and lining of cuboidal epithelial cells. The epithelial layer appears robust, with more abundant pink cytoplasm and distinct cell borders, emphasizing the thicker, metabolically active ascending segment of the loop of Henle.
