what are the two differences between cortical and juxtamedullary nephrons?
237499
Cortical nephrons have a short loop of Henle, which penetrates only the outer renal medulla. Juxtamedullary nephrons have a long loop of Henle extending deep into the renal medulla. ... Cortical nephrons occur in all vertebrates, while the juxtamedullary nephrons occur only in birds and mammals.

As adjectives the difference between adrenal and renal is that adrenal is pertaining to the adrenal glands or their secretions while renal is pertaining to the kidneys.

What is the difference between the sounds that primary and secondary auditory cortex's hear? -Neurons in primary auditory cortex respond to pure tones, but neurons in seconary auditory cortex require more complex sounds. For instance, in monkeys, neurons in secondary auditory cortex respond better to monkey calls.

The cortex contains the renal corpuscle, proximal, and distal convoluted tubules. The medulla and medullary rays contain the loops of Henle and collecting ducts.

The renal cortex is a space between the medulla and the outer capsule. The renal medulla contains the majority of the length of nephrons, the main functional component of the kidney that filters fluid from blood. The renal pelvis connects the kidney with the circulatory and nervous systems from the rest of the body.

Juxtamedullary nephron is a microscopic structural and functional unit of the kidney with a long loop of Henle. Cortical nephrons have a short loop of Henle, which penetrates only the outer renal medulla. Juxtamedullary nephrons have a long loop of Henle extending deep into the renal medulla.

Renal corpuscles are confined to the renal medulla. ... The renal tubule consists of the proximal tubule, nephron loop, and collecting system. False: The renal tubule consists of the proximal tubule, nephron loop, and (the distal tubule).
964415
Juxtamedullary nephrons have glomeruli, that are located deep within the cortex, near the cortico-medullary border, and give rise to long-loop nephrons (Figures 1 and 2). These nephrons enter the inner medulla and have a tAL.

There are two types of nephrons— cortical nephrons (85 percent), which are deep in the renal cortex, and juxtamedullary nephrons (15 percent), which lie in the renal cortex close to the renal medulla.

The glomerulus of the nephron filters the blood and produces glomerular filtrate. The Bowman's capsule collects the filtrate and passes it to next parts of the nephron, namely the proximal tubule, the loop of Henley and the distal tubule. The filtrate is processed in the tubules finally to form urine.

renal corpuscle is part of a nephron that consists of a glomerulus and a glomerular capsule. Renal tubule is the portion of a nephron that extends from the renal corpuscle to the collecting duct.

The distal tubule — which consists of the distal convoluted tubule, the connecting tubule, and the initial collecting tubule — participates in regulation of Na and K balance. This region contains the principal cells and is sensitive to aldosterone. The distal ends of several tubules empty into the collecting duct.

Renal pyramids appear as though they are striped because they are situated in segments of parallel nephrons. The nephron is the basic functional and structural unit of the kidney that filters the blood that regulates water concentration and soluble substances such as sodium salts.

['a renal corpuscle, which is the initial filtering component, and.', 'a renal tubule that processes and carries away the filtered fluid.']

The functional and structural unit of the kidney is the nephron. The nephron produces urine and is the primary unit of homeostasis in the body. It is essentially a long tubule with a series of associated blood vessels. ... Blood from the renal artery enters the glomerulus.

Nephron - the basic structural and functional unit of the kidneys.

A renal corpuscle is the blood-filtering component of the nephron of the kidney. It consists of a glomerulus - a tuft of capillaries composed of endothelial cells, and a glomerular capsule known as Bowman's capsule.
