Question:
Choose the correct statement given below regarding juxta medullary nephron.
Choose the correct statement given below regarding juxta medullary nephron.
Updated On: Dec 3, 2024
- Juxta medullary nephrons are located in the columns of Bertini.
- Renal corpuscle of juxta medullary nephron lies in the outer portion of the renal medulla.
- Loop of Henle of juxta medullary nephron runs deep into medulla.
- Juxta medullary nephrons outnumber the cortical nephrons.

Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
- Juxta medullary nephrons have the renal corpuscle located at the boundary between the cortex and medulla, not exclusively in the outer cortex.
- The defining feature of juxta medullary nephrons is that their Loop of Henle extends deep into the renal medulla, which helps in the concentration of urine.
- There are fewer juxta medullary nephrons compared to cortical nephrons, so option (3) is incorrect.
Thus, the correct answer is Option 2.

Top Questions on Nephrons
- Given below are two statements :
Statement I : In the nephron, the descending limb of loop of Henle is impermeable to water and permeable to electrolytes.
Statement II : The proximal convoluted tubule is lined by simple columnar brush border epithelium and increases the surface area for reabsorption.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the option given below : - Some of the substances move out of the peritubular capillaries and are moved into the nephron by which process?
- A patient with hyperkalemia and elevated urea levels underwent dialysis. Towards the end of the session, she became drowsy and had a sudden seizure episode. On examination, thepatient was hypotensive. What is the treatment for this condition?
- In a nephron,___ follows the ascending limb of the "loop of Henle".
Questions Asked in NEET exam
- Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.
Assertion A : The potential (V) at any axial point, at 2 m distance(r) from the centre of the dipole of dipole moment vector \(\vec{P}\) of magnitude, 4 × 10-6 C m, is ± 9 × 103 V.
(Take \(\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}=9\times10^9\) SI units)
Reason R : \(V=±\frac{2P}{4\pi \epsilon_0r^2}\), where r is the distance of any axial point, situated at 2 m from the centre of the dipole.
