Cortex.
---------------------
Actually both the renal cortex and medulla contain parts of the nephron. The loop of Henle lies within the medulla, everything else is in the cortex. (See pictures below)

What else can I help you with?
What nephron loop is located in the renal?
The nephron loop, also known as the loop of Henle, is a U-shaped section of the nephron located in the renal medulla of the kidney. It consists of a descending limb that dips into the medulla and an ascending limb that returns to the renal cortex. This loop plays a crucial role in concentrating urine and regulating water and electrolyte balance in the body.
What is the cup-shaped part of the nephron?
The cup-shaped part of the nephron is called the renal (or Bowman's) capsule. It is located at the beginning of the nephron and surrounds the glomerulus, which is a network of capillaries. The renal capsule helps in the filtration of blood and the formation of urine.
Is the juxtamedullary nephron located closer to the renal medulla?
Yes, the juxtamedullary nephron is located closer to the renal medulla compared to the cortical nephron. It has a longer loop of Henle that extends deep into the medulla, allowing for concentration of urine and regulation of water balance.
What region of the kidney would you find renal corpuscles?
the renal corpuscles are located in kidney but to say precisely it is located in nephron(blood filtering component) hope that it helped ^^
What are the different types of nephrons?
Juxtamedullary Nephron: renal corpuscles close to the base of renal medulla (long loop of Henle and long thin segments that extends in the inner region of renal pyramid) Coritcal Nephron: renal corpuscles in the outer part of the renal cortex (short loop of Henle and hairpin turn in the thick segment) Intermediate Nephron: renal corpuscles in the mid-region of renal cortex (intermediate lenght loop of Henle)

Where in the nephron is most of the previously removed fluid added back to the blood?
Renal tubule
What is the ball of specialized capillaries within a kidney nephron where renal filtration occurs?
a ball , tightly coiled capillaries within a kidney nephron where renal filtration occurs
What region of the kidney would you find renal corpuscles?
the renal corpuscles are located in kidney but to say precisely it is located in nephron(blood filtering component) hope that it helped ^^
What are the parts of a nephron?
The parts of the nephron are the renal artery, renal vein, afferent arteriole, glomerulus, bowman's capsule, proximal tubules, distal tubules, loop of henle, renal pelvis, cortex, medulla, peritubular capillaries, and ureter.
What is another name for a kidney tubule?
Nephron
What is the structural unit of the kidney?
Nephron is the basic structural and functional unit of the kidney. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nephron It is composed of a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule. The renal corpuscle consists of a glomerulus and the Bowman's capsule. It is the nephron's initial filtering component. The components of the renal tubule are the proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle and the distal convoluted tubule.
What are the two main parts of a nephron?
The two main parts of a nephron are the renal tubule and the renal corpuscle. The renal tubule consists of the proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle, and distal convoluted tubule, responsible for filtering and processing the blood. The renal corpuscle contains the glomerulus and Bowman's capsule, where blood is filtered to form urine.
Portion of the kidney containing the bulk of the nephron?
Renal Cortex
What section of the nephron filters blood plasma?
renal corpuscle
