Choose the correct statement given below regarding juxta medullary nephron.
Options
- ARenal corpuscle of juxta medullary nephron lies in the outer portion of the renal medulla.
- BLoop of Henle of juxta medullary nephron runs deep into medulla.
- CJuxta medullary nephrons outnumber the cortical nephrons.
- DJuxta medullary nephrons are located in the columns of Bertini.
Correct answer
B. Loop of Henle of juxta medullary nephron runs deep into medulla.
Step-by-step solution
The correct answer is option no, (2) because the length of loop of Henle of juxta medullary nephron is longer than the length of loop of Henle of cortical nephron and runs deep into medulla. Option (1) is incorrect because renal corpuscle of juxta medullary nephron lies in inner cortical region. Option (3) is incorrect as juxta medullary nephrons are lesser in number than cortical nephrons. Option (4) is incorrect as juxta medullary nephron are not present in columns of Bertini.
