They are the nephrons that really fine tune the level of concentration of the urine.
What are the filters inside a kidney called?
The filtering units within the kidney are called nephrons.
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)
