To solve this problem, we need to analyze the statements regarding juxta medullary nephrons and determine which one is correct. Let's evaluate each option:Option 1: Loop of Henle of juxta medullary nephron runs deep into medulla. - Juxta medullary nephrons have long loops of Henle that extend deep into the renal medulla. - This is a key feature that distinguishes them from cortical nephrons, which have shorter loops. - Therefore, this statement is correct.Option 2: Juxta medullary nephrons outnumber the cortical nephrons. - In the human kidney, cortical nephrons are more numerous than juxta medullary nephrons. - Typically, about 85\% of nephrons are cortical, while only 15\% are juxta medullary. - Therefore, this statement is incorrect.Option 3: Juxta medullary nephrons are located in the columns of Bertini. - The columns of Bertini are extensions of the renal cortex between the renal pyramids. - Juxta medullary nephrons are not specifically located in the columns of Bertini; they are located near the boundary of the cortex and medulla. - Therefore, this statement is incorrect.Option 4: Renal corpuscle of juxta medullary nephron lies in the outer portion of the renal medulla. - The renal corpuscle of juxta medullary nephrons is located at the junction of the cortex and medulla, not in the outer portion of the medulla. - Therefore, this statement is incorrect.Based on the analysis, the correct statement is:Option 1: Loop of Henle of juxta medullary nephron runs deep into medulla.
