What is the capillary loop that extend from the efferent arteriole and run along loop of henle of juxtamedullary nephrons?
Vasa Recta
Which Nephrons have a long loop of Henle?
animals that live in the desert, like a camel.
What are the different types of nephrons?
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)
What structure descends deep onto the renal medulla only in juxtamedullary nephrons?
Loop of Hinle
What mammal has the most long-looped nephrons?
All desert living mammals have long loop of Henle.
3 How do cortical nephrons and juxtamedullary nephrons differ structurally?
The cortical nephrons,from their name are almost entirely embedded within the cortex of the kidney.They have shortish loops of Henle that do not really extend far into the medulla. By contrast, the juxtamedullary nephrons have longs loops of Henle that do extend far into the medulla.The glomeruli of the juxtamedullary nephrons are typically close to the medulla (which is how these got their name)
The capillary bed that surrounds the descending and ascending loop of Henle of juxtamedullary nephrons is called the?

How is urea transported in the blood plasma?
nitrogenous waste is carried through the blood. the waste passes into the nephrons (kidney cells) inside the nephrons the blood passes through "the loop of henly" in which the waste is pulled out of the blood and send to the bladder to be concentrated as urea
