Question

Please help. :3 
Distinguish between  cortical and juxtaglomerulan nephrons.

anonymous · Answer

Juxtaglomerulan extends down into medulla (super long Loop of Henle).

Corticla remains in the cortex (shorter Loop of Henle)

Apparently the site is restarting in a minute...SO hope this helps!

Apologies - made a couple of typos.

Juxtamedullary* I believe is the proper term. Juxtaglomerular does have something to do with the kidneys (namely, the RAAS hormone control system) but isn't the right term in this case. And cortical*, not corticla.
