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)

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.
Nephrons are the tiny filters that remove nitrogenous wastes from the blood. Nephrons are found in the kidneys.

The normal human kidney has about a million nephrons, but that number can vary widely. There has been research that shows a relationship between having significantly fewer nephrons and having hypertension.
