Answers
GPT 3.5
1) Cortical nephrons: These nephrons are predominantly located in the renal cortex. They have short loops of Henle that do not penetrate deep into the medulla. They make up approximately 85-90% of all nephrons in the kidney.
2) Juxtamedullary nephrons: These nephrons have long loops of Henle that extend deep into the medulla. They are located near the corticomedullary junction and play a crucial role in establishing the concentration gradient necessary for urine concentration. They make up approximately 10-15% of all nephrons in the kidney.
