a distal convoluted tubules
b juxtaglomerular apparatus
c proximal convoluted tubules
d vasa recta
e renal corpuscles

Explanation:

• Distal convoluted tubules: Found in the renal cortex.
• Juxtaglomerular apparatus: Located in the renal cortex near the glomerulus.
• Proximal convoluted tubules: Situated in the renal cortex.
• Vasa recta: Specialized capillary loops that extend into the renal medulla.
• Renal corpuscles: Composed of the glomerulus and Bowman's capsule, located in the renal cortex.
