What is the capillary loop that extend from the efferent arteriole and run along loop of henle of juxtamedullary nephrons?
Vasa Recta
Which Nephrons have a long loop of Henle?
Juxtamedullary nephrons have a long loop of Henle, which extends deep into the medulla of the kidney. These nephrons play a crucial role in concentrating urine by creating a hypertonic medullary interstitium through the countercurrent multiplier mechanism.
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)
What mammal has the most long-looped nephrons?
All desert living mammals have long loop of Henle.
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.
The capillary bed that surrounds the descending and ascending loop of Henle of juxtamedullary nephrons is called the?

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 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.
Why cortical nephrons have short loop of henle?
Cortical nephrons have a shorter loop of Henle primarily because they are located in the outer region of the kidney cortex, where the medullary concentration gradient is less pronounced. Their shorter loops allow for efficient filtration and reabsorption of water and solutes in the renal cortex, where most of the nephron's functions occur. This design is suited for the regulation of blood composition rather than for producing highly concentrated urine, which is more characteristic of juxtamedullary nephrons with longer loops.

When the body becomes dehydrated a chemical signal is sent that causes nephrons in the kidneys to absorb more water and excrete more salts. This is an example of a .?
