As we have learned

Cortical nephrons -

The Malpighian corpuscle, PCT and DCT of the nephron are situated in the cortical region of the kidney whereas the loop of Henle dips into the medulla.

- wherein

In majority of nephrons, the loop of Henle is too short and extends only very little into the medulla. Such nephrons are called cortical nephrons.

The thick segment of the ascending limb of Henle's loop extends as DCT. Cortical nephrons do not have vasa recta. PCT and DCT are situated in cortex of the kidney. Bowman's capsule encloses the glomerulus.
