All of the following statements about Juxtamedullary nephrons are correct EXCEPT
their glomeruli lie in the renal medulla.
a.
b.
are important in the ability of the kidneys to concentrate urine.
C.
Their loops of Henle dip deep into the medulla.
d.
they are not the predominant type of nephron found in human kidneys.
