  • Juxtamedullary nephrons 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 is present deeper into the medulla.
  • The loop of Henle is associated with the vasa recta.
  • They are responsible for controlling the volume of plasma when the water supply is short.
  • Hence the correct answer is option 4 which is all of the above.
