Answer: C. Medulla and Cortex
The nephrons are found at the cortex-medulla junction. There are what we call as the juxtamedullary nephrons and cortical nephrons referring to their designated locations. The juxtamedullary nephrons are involved in the creation of concentrated urine of a person.
<h2>GFR </h2>
Explanation:
A decrease in GFR will cause lower Na and Cl ion concentration in the distal tubule
- GFR stands for Glomerular Filtration Rate
- The rate at which kidneys filter blood is called the glomerular filtration rate
- The main driving force for the filtering process, or outward pressure is the blood pressure as it enters the glomerulus which is counteracted to some extent by inward pressure due to the hydrostatic pressure of the fluid within the urinary space, and the pressure generated by the proteins left in the capillaries that tend to pull water back into the circulatory system (colloidal osmotic pressure)
- The net filtration pressure is the outward pressure minus the inward pressure
The pulmonary embolism is due to her heart not pumping correctly
