MCQ
Choose the correct statement
  • A
    The juxta medullary nephrons have reduced Henle's loop
  • B
    Vasa recta is well developed in cortical nephrons
  • C
    The $PCT $and $DCT$ are situated in the medulla of the kidney
  • The ascending limb of the Henle's loop extends as the $DCT$

Answer

Correct option: D.
The ascending limb of the Henle's loop extends as the $DCT$
d
The ascending limb of Henle's loop (the next part of renal tubule) continue as another highly coiled tubular region called Distal Convoluted Tubule $(DCT).$

The juxta medullarly nephrons have long Henle's loop.

Vasa recta is absent or highly reduced in cortical nephrons.

Bowman's capsule encloses the glomerulus.

The Malpighian corpuscles, proximal convoluted tubule $(PCT)$ and distal convoluted tubule $(DCT)$ are situated in the cortical region of the kidney, whereas the Henel's loop in the medulla.
