Statement-1: Small amount of urea enters the thick segment of Henle's loop which is tranported back to interstitium by collecting tubules.
Statement-2: Collecting tubules and thick segment of Henle's loop are permeable to urea.

A

both statements 1 and 2 are correct.

B

Statement 1 is correct but statement 2 is incorrect

C

Statement 1 is incorrect but statement 2 is correct

D

Both statements 1 and 2 are incorrect.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The deeper parts of thin ascending limbs of Henle's loop and collecting ducts are permeable to urea. Urea diffuses out of the collecting ducts and enters into the thin ascending limbs of Henle's loop. Only certain amount of urea is recycled and rest remains in interstitial fluid.

Which of the following statements about the functioning of the kidney is CORRECT ? I. On a average , 1100-1200 ml of blood is filtered by the kidneys per minute which constitute roughly 1/5th of the blood pumped out by both the Ventricles of the heart in a minute . II. JGA is a special sensitive region formed by cellular modifications in the distal convoluted tubule and glomerulus at the location of their contact . III.
