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)
The filtering unit of the kidney is the nephrons.
Why are nephrons surrounded by many tiny blood vessels
nephrons
There are about 1 million nephrons in a kidney. Most humans have 2 kidneys.
Nephrons are the tiny filters that remove nitrogenous wastes from the blood. Nephrons are found in the kidneys.
nephrons
The structure of a nephron is difficult to determine because a nephron is very small, and there are so many nephrons piled on top of each other that they are difficult to distinguish. A healthy human kidney has about 1 million nephrons.
