The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding which statement is not correct for the most common type of nephrons in the human kidney, we will follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Types of Nephrons**: - There are two main types of nephrons in the human kidney: cortical nephrons and juxtamedullary nephrons. - Cortical nephrons are the most common type, while juxtamedullary nephrons are less common. 2. **Characteristics of Cortical Nephrons**: - Cortical nephrons have a short loop of Henle (LOH) that extends only slightly into the medulla. - They are primarily located in the cortex of the kidney and do not extend deep into the medulla. 3. **Evaluate the Statements**: - We need to evaluate the provided statements about cortical nephrons to identify which one is incorrect. - Common characteristics of cortical nephrons include: - They are small in size. - They have a short loop of Henle. - They do not play a major role in the countercurrent mechanism due to the reduced presence of the vasa recta. 4. **Identify the Incorrect Statement**: - The statement that says "major portion present at the junction of cortex and medulla" is incorrect. - Cortical nephrons are primarily located in the cortex and do not significantly extend into the medulla. 5. **Conclusion**: - The statement that is not correct for the most common type of nephrons (cortical nephrons) is that they are located at the junction of the cortex and medulla. ### Final Answer: The incorrect statement regarding the most common type of nephrons in the human kidney is: "major portion present at the junction of cortex and medulla." ---
