Part of nephron lined by simple cuboidal brush bordered epithelium is found in

In which of the following regions of nephron does maximum reabsorption of useful substances takes place?

What is the fuction of brush-bordered cuboidal epithelium in PCT of nephron?

Assertion :- Proximal convoluted tubule is lined by brush-bordered cuboidal epithelium. Reason :- PCT is main site of selective reabsorption of useful material from nephric filtrate.

Which of theses statements about proximal convoluted tubule is/are true? I. it is lined by simple columnar brush border epithelium which increases the surface area for reabsorption. II Nearly all of the essential nutrients and 70%-80% of electrolytes and water are reabsorbed by this segment. III. It selectively secretes hydrogen ions, ammonia and potassium ions into the filtrate. IV. It is the most convoluted part of the nephron and is present in the medullary region of the kidney.

Read the following statements and find out the INCORRECT statement . (a) During urine formation, the tubular cells secrete substance like H^+, Na^+ and HCO_3^- into the filtrate. (b) As glomerular filtrate move down in descending limb of Henle it gets concentrated and as concentrated filtrate pass upward in ascending limb of HL it gets diluted. (c) Conditional reabsorption of Na^+ and water takes place in PCT. (d) Reabsorption in ascending limb of HL is minimum.

Consider the following four statements (i-iv) and select the option that correctly identifies the true (T) and false (F) ones. (i). Atrial natriuretic factor can cause vasodilation (dilation of blood vessels) and thereby decreases the blood pressure. (ii). On an average, 60-70 gm of urea is excreted out per day. (iii). Sebaceous glands eliminate certain substances like NaCl, urea and lactic acid through sebum. (iv). PCT is lined by simple cuboidal brush border epithelium which increases the surface area for reabsorption.

Assertion :- In PCT all of the essential nutrient and 70-80 percent of electrolytes and water are reabsorbed. Reason :- PCT is lined by simple cuboidal brush border epithelium which increases the surface , are for reabsorption.
