WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING IS NOT A PA OF NEPHRON ?
Nephron - Nephron is the structural and functional unit of kidney and there are about 1-4 million nephrons in each kidney. The nephron consists of a renal corpuscle (or Malpighian corpuscle), and a long complicated renal tubule. Renal tubule is made up of three pas: The proximal convoluted tubule, Loop of Henle, The distal convoluted tubule. Renal corpuscle is situated in the coex of the kidney either near the periphery or near the medulla. Based on the situation of renal corpuscle, the nephrons are classified into two types: Coical nephrons or superficial nephrons (which have their corpuscles in the outer coex). Juxtamedullary nephrons (which have their corpuscles in the inner coex near medulla or coicomedullary junction). Renal corpuscles, and (the greater pas of) the proximal and distal convoluted tubules are located in the coex of the kidney. The loops of Henle and the collecting ducts lie in the medullary rays and in the substance of the pyramids. REF : Inderbir Singh's Textbook of Human Histology, seventh edition, pg.no., 306.
