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 proximal convoluted tubule drains into the loop of Henle.
The major process that occurs in the loop of Henle is the reabsorption of water and electrolytes, such as sodium and chloride. The loop of Henle creates a concentration gradient in the kidney that is necessary for the formation of concentrated urine.
Yes, the loop of Henle is where urea recycling occurs in the kidney. If there is a disruption in the urea recycling process in the loop of Henle, it can lead to a build-up of urea in the body, potentially causing health issues.
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 loop of Henle takes part in the transport of ions and reabsorbes urea.

Nephrons, which contain loops of henle, are the filtering structures in the kidney.

a camel.long loop of henle allows greater concentration of urine resulting in greater conservation of water.
