Question
Chapter 25, Problem 17TYR
Summary Introduction
To fill:
The correct term in the given blank.
Introduction:
The nephron loop (loop of Henle) is a U-shaped partof the renal tubule mostly found in the medulla.Nephron loop has descending and ascending limb. The loop is divided into two segments namely; thick segment and thin segment. Thick segment is lined with simple cuboidal epithelium while the thin segment is lined with simple squamous epithelium.

From the descending limb of the nephron loop a water molecule would next pass into the ______.
proximal convoluted tuble
glomerulus
ascending limb of the nephron loop
collecting duct
ureter
urinary bladder
Juxtamedullary nephrons
none of these
have very short nephron loops.
make up about 80-85% of the nephrons within the kidney.
O allows excretion of very concentrated urine.
Renal Physiology (human)
The foot processes of podocytes surround the peritubular capillaries of both cortical and juxtamedullary nephrons.
Vasa recta are long, straight blood vessels associated with juxtamedullary nephrons.
Canagliflozin is a therapeutic drug that acts on the collecting duct to decrease glucose reabsorption.
