Question

Nephron in which loop of Henle present is called:-

• A. Juxtamedullary nephron
• B. Cortical nephron
• C. Loop of Henle is found in both types of nephrons
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is C Loop of Henle is found in both types of nephrons

In majority of nephrons, the Loop of Henle is too short and extends only very little into the medulla. Such nephrons are called as cortical nephrons. In some of the nephrons, the Loop of Henle is very long and runs deep into the medulla. These nephrons are called as juxtamedullary nephrons. So, Loop of Henle is found in both types of nephrons.
