Q. Choose the correct statement.

A) The juxta medullarly 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 ascending limb of the Henle’s loop extends as the DCT
Explanation

The ascending limb of Henle’s loop (the next part of renal tubule) continue as another highly coiled tubular region called Distal Convoluted Tubule (DCT). The juxta medullarly nephrons have long Henle’s loop. Vasa recta is absent or highly reduced in cortical nephrons. Bowman’s capsule encloses the glomerulus. The Malpighian corpuscles, proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) and distal convoluted tubule (DCT) are situated in the cortical region of the kidney, whereas the Henel’s loop in the medulla.
