differences between cortical and juxta medullary nephrons

cortical nephron                                      juxta medullary nephron 1.these nephrons contribute                         1.these nephrons contribute about 12-15% of the total nephrons about 80-85% of the total nephrons. 2.malphigian body is present at the cortex          2. the malphigian body is present at the cortico medullary junction and the loop of henle extends upto the corticomedullary junction

3.the ascending segment of loop of                  3.the ascending segment of loop of henle has only thin nsegment henle has both thin and thick segment 4.the filtration rate in these nephrons             4.the filtration rate in these nephrons is faster.. is comparitively slower 5.vasa recta is absent in these type of nephrons    5.vasa recta is present in these type of nephrons..
