Assertion :- In cortical nephrone, the loop of Henle is too short and extends only very little into medulla. Reason :- Vasa recta is absent or highly reduced in cortical nephrons.

In which type of nephrons, the loop of Henle is too short and extends only very little into the medulla part of kidney?

Loop of henle come deep into medulla in

Assertion A: The renal fluid becomes increasingly concentrated when it flows down in the descending limb of loop of Henle towards the inner medulla but its concentration decreases in the ascending limb when it flows towards the cortex Reason R: The descending limb of the loop of Henle reabsorbs water, the ascending limb is impermeable to water but salts are reabsorbed

In comparison to the cortical nephrons, Henle's loop of juxtamedullary nephrons is :

The high osmolarity of the renal medulla is maintained by all of the following except (i) Active transport of salt from the upper region of the ascending limb (ii) The spatial arrangement of juxta medullary nephrons (iii) Diffusion of urea from the collecting duct (iv)Diffusion of salt from the ascending limb of the loop of Henle (v) Diffusion of salt from the descending limb of the loop of Henle
