nephrons
They are the nephrons that really fine tune the level of concentration of the urine.
The filtering units within the kidney are called nephrons.
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)
Kidneys tend to fail because of damage to the nephrons, which causes them to filter less effectivley or even cease to filter at all. Nephrons can fail quickly due to poisoning or injury Kidneys tend to fail because of damage to the nephrons, which causes them to filter less effectivley or even cease to filter at all.
