Which of the following part of nephron is NOT present in renal cortex?

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

The nephron is the structural and functional unit of the kidney. It consists of the Malpighian corpuscle (glomerulus and Bowman's capsule), proximal convoluted tubule (PCT), loop of Henle, and distal convoluted tubule (DCT).

The Malpighian corpuscle, PCT, and DCT are situated in the cortical region of the kidney (renal cortex).

The loop of Henle dips into the medulla. Therefore, the loop of Henle is not present in the renal cortex.

Answer: Loops of Henle
