Explanation

The juxtamedullary nephrons are uniquely supplied by the vasa recta, which are specialized blood vessels that extend deep into the medulla. While afferent and efferent arterioles, peritubular capillaries, and vasa nervorum serve other functions or nephron types, the vasa recta are specifically linked to juxtamedullary nephrons.
