Choose the correct statement.

Options

A. The juxtamedullary nephrons have reduced Henle's loop
B. Vasa recta is not 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

Explanation

The ascending limb of Henle's loop continues as another highly coiled tubular region called Distal Convoluted Tubule (DCT). The juxtamedullary 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 Henle's loop is in the medulla.
