Question

Choose the correct statement:

• A. the juxta medullary nephrons have reduced Henle’s loop
• B. vasa recta is well developed in cortical nephrons
• C. the $PCT$ and $DCT$ are situated in the medulla of the kidney
• D. the glomerulus encloses the Bowman’s capsule
• E. the ascending limb of the Henle’s loop extends as the $DCT$

Answer 1

Answer: (E)

The thick segment of the ascending limb of Henle’s loop opens into the DCT lying in the cortex. The juxta medullary nephrons have long loops of Henle. Cortical nephrons do not have vasa recta. PCT and DCT are situated in the cortex of the kidney
