Answer 2

Nephron is a filtering unit of kidney...

For 1 marks write this for detail:

It is of two types 1. juxta medullary

2.cortical

Now explain both this

Juxtamedullary is a nephrin in which loop of henle is longer used in counter current mechanism...it is very less.

Cortical nephron is a nephron used normally to filter the blood.it is more in number
