Consider the given two statements: 

Assertion (A): Juxtamedullary nephrons are crucial for the process of urine concentration. 
Reason (R): They have longer loops of Henle, which extend deep into the medulla, allowing more effective water reabsorption.

Cortical nephrons differ from juxtamedullary nephrons in that:
1. Cortical nephrons are primarily involved in the filtration of blood.
2. Juxtamedullary nephrons have a longer loop of Henle that extends deep into the medulla.
3. Cortical nephrons are absent in mammals.
4. Juxtamedullary nephrons are not involved in the concentration of urine.
