The correct Answer is:
To determine which statement is INCORRECT, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement I **Statement I:** Human kidneys can produce urine nearly six times more concentrated than the initial filtrate formed. - **Analysis:** This statement is incorrect. Human kidneys can concentrate urine, but the maximum concentration is typically about four times that of the initial filtrate, not six times. ### Step 2: Analyze Statement II **Statement II:** An increase in body fluid volume can switch on the osmoreceptors and stimulate ADH. - **Analysis:** This statement is also incorrect. An increase in body fluid volume actually inhibits osmoreceptors, leading to a decrease in the secretion of Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH). ADH is stimulated when body fluid volume decreases. ### Step 3: Analyze Statement III **Statement III:** Substances like glucose, amino acids, Na+, etc., in the filtrate are reabsorbed actively by the renal tubule whereas the nitrogenous wastes are absorbed by passive transport. - **Analysis:** This statement is correct. Glucose, amino acids, and sodium ions are reabsorbed actively in the renal tubules, while nitrogenous wastes like urea are typically reabsorbed by passive transport. ### Step 4: Analyze Statement IV **Statement IV:** Each kidney has nearly one million complex tubular structures called nephrons which are the functional units. - **Analysis:** This statement is correct. Each human kidney contains approximately one million nephrons, which are indeed the functional units responsible for filtering blood and producing urine. ### Conclusion After analyzing all the statements, we find that the INCORRECT statements are: - **Statement I** is incorrect because the concentration of urine is about four times the initial filtrate, not six. - **Statement II** is incorrect because an increase in body fluid volume inhibits osmoreceptors and decreases ADH secretion. Thus, the answer to the question is that **Statements I and II are incorrect.**
