Assertion A: The renal fluid becomes increasingly concentrated when it flows down in the descending limb of loop of Henle towards the inner medulla but its concentration decreases in the ascending limb when it flows towards the cortex Reason R: The descending limb of the loop of Henle reabsorbs water, the ascending limb is impermeable to water but salts are reabsorbed

Assertion: The length of Henle's loop is proportional to the concentration of urine. Reason: The length of Henle's loop is opposite to concentration urine.

Assertion : Normal urine of man is hypertonic than the blood plasma. Reason : Counter-current mechanism of loop of Henle and Renin enzyme of juxta-glomerular cells increase the Na^(+) concentration in the adrenal medulla.
