Question

Choose the correct statement given below regarding juxta medullary nephron.

पर्याय

• Loop of Henle of juxta medullary nephron runs deep into medulla.

• Juxta medullary nephrons outnumber the cortical nephrons.

• Juxta medullary nephrons are located in the columns of Bertini.

• Renal corpuscle of juxta medullary nephron lies in the outer portion of the renal medulla.

Answer 1

Loop of Henle of juxta medullary nephron runs deep into medulla.

Explanation:

The loop of Henle of the juxta medullary nephron reaches deep into the medulla and is longer than the loop of Henle of the cortical nephron. Compared to cortical nephrons, juxta medullary nephrons are less numerous. The columns of Bertini do not have juxta medullary nephrons. The inner cortical region contains the juxta medullary nephron's renal corpuscle.
