Wikipedia definition
1. Thin ascending limb of loop of Henle​The thin ascending limb of loop of Henle is a sub-portion of the loop of Henle in the juxtamedullary nephron of the kidney. The thin ascending limb is impermeable to water, but is permeable to ions in particular Na and Cl. As filtrate passes up through this limb, the solute concentration of the surrounding medulla decreases because more water is leaking into surrounding plasma, and increases the solute concentration within the loop of Henle.
