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)
Why are capillaries found in alveoli nephrons and villi?
Wherever capillaries are found, these are places where nutrients and wastes are exchanged.
What is the organ that filters waste from blood in the kidneys?
The kidney is the organ that filters waste from the blood. Millions of tiny structures called nephrons in the kidneys help in the filtration process by removing waste and excess substances from the blood to form urine.
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 are the filters inside a kidney called?
The filters inside a kidney are called nephrons. Each kidney contains thousands of nephrons, which are responsible for filtering waste and excess substances from the blood to form urine.

Where do you find the nephron in the kidney?
The normal human kidney has about a million nephrons, but that number can vary widely. There has been research that shows a relationship between having significantly fewer nephrons and having hypertension.

What is a tiny filtering unit in the kidney?
The filtering unit of the kidney is the nephrons.
