Which part of the nephron can be found in the renal medulla
A
PCT
B
DCT
C
Loop of Henle
D
Bowman’s Capsule
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Henle’s loop could be a hairpin-shaped space of the tube with a downhill limb and an ascending limb. Hence, the region of the nephron found in the renal medulla is Henle’s loop.

Detailed explanation-2: -The part of the nephron that lies in the renal medulla is the loop of Henle.

Detailed explanation-3: -This part is wholly within the renal cortex. The next part of the tubule is highly coiled (the proximal convoluted tubule) and empties into a U-shaped loop which carries the filtered fluid deep down into the medulla and then back again into the cortex. This part of the nephron is called the loop of Henle.
