Yes
the cortical nephron is another type of nephron which has shorter loop of henle extended in medulla region. it has no proper function but it works like as ultra filtration etc as juxta medullary nephron perform but juxta medullary has proper function.
The main site of fluid filtration in the kidney nephron is the glomerulus, which is a network of capillaries located in the renal corpuscle of the nephron. Here, blood is filtered to form the initial filtrate that will eventually become urine through the process of ultrafiltration.
nephron, each kidney has atleast 1 million
The Bowman's Capsule is part of a Nephron, which would be found in the Kidney. It's function is to collect the filtrate from the Glomerulus, passing it on to the Proximal Convoluted Tubules (PCT's); subsequently, to the rest of the Nephron.

the meaning of nephron
No, a nephron is not an organ. It is the basic structural and functional unit of the kidney and filters excess salt and water from the blood. The kidney is the main organ of the urinary system. Without a kidney, your body cannot create urine and you blood must be filtered with a dialysis machine.
