Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cortical nephrons are the most common type of nephron, accounting for 85% of all nephrons. They are located primarily in the cortex of the kidney and have a shorter loop of Henle compared to juxtamedullary nephrons. Juxtamedullary and juxtacortical nephrons account for only a small percentage of all nephrons. Medullary nephrons do not exist as a distinct type of nephron.
