nephrons
All desert living mammals have long loop of Henle.
Juxtamedullary Nephron: renal corpuscles close to the base of renal medulla (long loop of Henle and long thin segments that extends in the inner region of renal pyramid) Coritcal Nephron: renal corpuscles in the outer part of the renal cortex (short loop of Henle and hairpin turn in the thick segment) Intermediate Nephron: renal corpuscles in the mid-region of renal cortex (intermediate lenght loop of Henle)
They are the nephrons that really fine tune the level of concentration of the urine.
animals that live in the desert, like a camel.

cortical nephrons
There are about 1 million nephrons in a kidney. Most humans have 2 kidneys.

They are the nephrons that really fine tune the level of concentration of the urine.
Why are nephrons surrounded by many tiny blood vessels
The filtering units within the kidney are called nephrons.
