The capillary bed that surrounds the descending and ascending loop of Henle of juxtamedullary nephrons is called the?
my gooch has herpes, and I am tired of these Myaandp questions.
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 is the purpose of the juxtamedullary nephrons?
They are the nephrons that really fine tune the level of concentration of the urine.
What is extremely important for water conservation in mammals?
juxtamedullary nephrons

What is the pathway of tha blood from renal artery to the renal vein?
renal artery, segmental arteries, interlobar arteries, arcuate arteries, cortical radiate arteries, afferent arterioles, glomerulus, efferent arteriole, peritubular capillaries, venules, interlobar veins, arcuate veins, interlobar veins, renal vein.
The countercurrent mechanism functions in the?
In the nephron loops, particularly in the juxtamedullary nephrons.
Is the juxtamedullary nephron located closer to the renal medulla?
Yes, juxta means beside or next to and so the juxtamedullary nephrons are those located at the corticomedullary border.
What is the glomerus and in which tissue of the kidney is this part of the nephron located?
The glomerus a capillary tuft which receives its blood supply from an afferent arteriole of the renal circulation. Its blood pressure provides the power to force fluids and solutes to be filtered out of the blood into the space made by the Bowman's capsule. The remaining unfiltered blood passes into the narrower efferent arteriole. It then moves into the vasa recta, the collecting capillaries intertwined with the convoluted tubules through the interstitial space where the reabsorbed substances also enter. It then joins with the efferent venules of the other nephrons into the renal vein before rejoining with the main bloodstream.
What structure descends deep onto the renal medulla only in juxtamedullary nephrons?
Loop of Hinle
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)
Which Nephrons have a long loop of Henle?
animals that live in the desert, like a camel.
