Question

Label the following nephrons with respect to their placement in the kidney

• A. Juxtaglomerular cells to remove renin
• B. Adrenal cortex to release aldosterone
• C. Adrenal medulla to release adrenaline
• D. Posterior pituitary to release vasopressin

Answer 1

The correct option is A Juxtaglomerular cells to remove renin

The image represents the 2 types of nephrons based on their position in the renal cortex and the renal medulla. A juxtamedullary nephron features long loops of Henle that extend far into a kidney's medulla, whereas cortical nephrons have short loops of Henle and are almost entirely embedded in the kidney's cortex.
