Question

Name the two groups of nephron on the basis of their position in the kidneys. How are the different from each other

Answer 1

Answer:

Superficial cortical nephrons, which have their glomeruli in the outer cortex. They have shorter loops of Henle, which dip only into the outer medulla. ...

Juxtamedullary nephrons, which have their glomeruli near the corticomedullary border.

Explanation:The major difference between cortical nephrons and juxtamedullary nephrons are the length of the loops of Henle. In cortical nephrons, the glomeruli, proximal and distal convoluting ducts, and loops of Henle stay limited to the cortex. In juxtamedullary nephrons, they extend into the medulla.

Answer 2

Answer: On the basis of position there are two types of nephrons in kidney-

1. Juxtamedullary nephrons
2. Cortical nephrons

Explanation:

• Two types of nephrons found in kidney on the basis of position are

1. Juxtamedullary nephrons -

• Only 15% nephrons in human body are juxtamedullary neprons.They have longer loop of henle.Their main function is to concentrate the urine.

• Juxtamedullary nephron have large loop of henle which is extended  deep into the renal medulla
• They have a large network of vasa recta.

2.Cortical nephrons -

• Nearly 85% of total nephrons in human body are cortical nephrons. They have shorter loop of henle.They carry out excretory and regulatory function.

• Cortical nephrons have shorter loop of henle which only extends into the outer region of renal medulla.
• They have reduced vasa recta.

• Both types of nephron consist of glomerulus , Bowmans capsule , Loop of henle , proximal convoluted tube , distal convoluted tube , and a collecting duct.
