Difference between long and short loop of henle?
The long loop of henle is for animals in places short of a water supply, like camels, this is because the longer the loop of henle the further down in descends into the medullary tissues, so more ions like sodium and calcium pass out, lowering the water potential in these tissues, the fluid moves on into DCT, (distal convoluted tubule) and then into the collecting duct, because the loop of henle was so long the collecting duct travels down further and therefore releases more back into the blood, because the surrounding tissues have a low water potential, so animals like camels save alot more water, whereas beavers do not need to retain as much water so have a small loop of henle as they are surrounded by water.
What is cortical nephrons?
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.
What parts of the nephron is found in the renal medulla?
Most nephrons (85%) are contained withing the renal cortex. The remaining 15% are called juxtamedullary nephrons and their glomeruli are close to the corticomedullary border. Their loops of Henle are found within the renal medulla.
The U-shaped segment of the nephron is the?
The loop of Henle is the U-shaped segment of the nephron located in the kidney. It plays a key role in reabsorbing water and salts from the filtrate to maintain fluid balance in the body. The loop of Henle is composed of a descending and an ascending limb.
What are nephrons called if they are located mainly in the cortex?
Cortical nephrons are located mainly in the cortex of the kidney. They have shorter loops of Henle that mainly dip into the outer medulla. These nephrons are responsible for most of the kidney's filtration processes.
Loop of blank at the bottom of nephrons?
Henle
What is the capillary loop that extend from the efferent arteriole and run along loop of henle of juxtamedullary nephrons?
Vasa Recta
What mammal has the most long-looped nephrons?
All desert living mammals have long loop of Henle.
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)
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.
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)
What Animal that that has long loop of henle?
a camel.long loop of henle allows greater concentration of urine resulting in greater conservation of water.
Difference between long and short loop of henle?

Where is the loop of the Henle?
The Loop of Henle is situated in the Kidney. It is a part of the nephron.
What types of adaptations would be beneficial to an organism living in the desert?
nephrons with a long loop of henle allow animals living in hotter climates to reabsorb as mush water as possible from their urine before it is excreted.
What is the purpose of the juxtamedullary nephrons?
Juxtamedullary nephrons are positioned close to the medulla of the kidney and play a crucial role in concentrating urine. They have long loop of Henle which allows for the reabsorption of water and solutes, helping the body to maintain water balance and excrete waste efficiently.
Where is the Loop of Henle located?
The Loop of Henle is situated in the Kidney. It is a part of the nephron.
