Which of the vascular channels are related to Juxtramedullary nephrous only?
Correct answer: D. Vasa recta
- A. Afferent and efferent arterioles
- B. Peritubualr capillaries
- C. Vasa nervosa
- D. Vasa recta
Explanation
Vasa recta are straight capillaries that run alongside the loops of Henle in juxtamedullary nephrons and help maintain the medullary concentration gradient. Peritubular capillaries occur around the tubules of both cortical and juxtamedullary nephrons, so choosing them is too general.
