Each kidney has nearly one million complex tubular structures called nephrons which are the functional units. Form given character which are not applicable to nephron ?
(i) Each nephron has two parts – the glomerulus and the renal tubule.
(ii) Glomerulus is a tuft of capillaries formed by the afferent arteriole.
(iii) Blood from the glomerulus is carried away by an efferent arteriole.
(iv) The renal tubule begins with a double walled cup-like structure called Bowman’s capsule, which encloses the glomerulus.
(v) Glomerulus along with Bowman’s capsule, is called the malpighian body or renal corpuscle.
(vi) The Malpighian corpuscle, PCT and DCT of the cortical nephron are situated in the cortical region of the kidney.
(vii) In only some nephrons, the loop of Henle is too short and extends only very little into the medulla called cortical nephron.
