Detailed explanation-1: -loop of Henle, long U-shaped portion of the tubule that conducts urine within each nephron of the kidney of reptiles, birds, and mammals. The principal function of the loop of Henle is in the recovery of water and sodium chloride from urine.
Detailed explanation-2: -In majority of nephrons, the loop of Henle is too short and extends only very little into the medulla. Such nephrons are called as cortical nephrons. In some of the nephrons, the loop of Henle is very long and runs deep into the medulla. These nephrons are called as juxtamedullary nephrons.
Detailed explanation-3: -The loop of Henle is a part of the nephron in the kidneys. The loop of Henle is found in the medulla part of the nephron.
Detailed explanation-4: -Juxtamedullary nephrons are those nephrons that have longer loops of Henle which are seen to run deep into the medulla. Q. On the basis of location, juxtamedullary nephrons and cortical nephrons are the two types of nephrons.
