Types of Nephrons -

Juxtamedullary Nephrons:

  • They form about 15% of the total nephrons. 
  • Their glomeruli are found at the junction of the cortex and medulla.
  • These are larger in size and the loop of Henle are present deeper into the medulla.
  • The loop of Henle is associated with vasa recta.
  • They are responsible for controlling the volume of plasma when the water supply is short.

Cortical Nephrons: 

  • They form about 85% of the total nephrons. 
  • They lie in the renal cortex. The glomeruli are present in the outer cortex.
  • The loop of Henle is short and extend a short distance into the medulla.
  • The vasa recta are absent.
     

- Hence, the correct option is The loop of Henle is not associated with vasa recta in juxtamedullary nephron
