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 separate the renal cortex from the medulla?
The renal medulla is composed mostly of collecting ducts and the nephron loops. You will not see any glomeruli in the medulla, as they are confined to the cortex. This makes the renal cortex and renal medulla easily distinguishable.
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)

What type of tissue is the kidney made up of?
capsule tissue, cortex tissue, and medulla tissue
The portion of the kidneys?
The renal cortex is the outer portion of the kidney between the renal capsule and the renal medulla.
The portion of the kidneys is?
The renal cortex is the outer portion of the kidney between the renal capsule and the renal medulla.
What is the middle layer of the kidney called?
The middle layer of the kidney is known as medulla
Are the glomerulus the glomerular capsule and the proximal convoluted tubule all located within the medulla region of the kidney?
Renal Papilla are found in the medulla, but the glomerulus is found in the renal cortex.
What is the inner region of the adrenal gland?
Adrenal Medulla
Where are the majority of nephrons located?
The majority of nephrons are located in the outer region of the cortex.
What are nephrons called if they are located mainly in the cortex?
cortical nephrons
