If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason in correct explanation of Assertion. If both assertion and Reason are true but reason is not correct explanation of Assertion. If Assertion is true but Reason is false. If both Assertion and Reason are false. Assertion:Proximal convoluted tubule is lined by brush-bordered cuboidal epitheliium. Reason:PCT is main site of selective reabsorption of useful materials from nephric filtrate.

Read the following statements (a)in tubular reabsorption, substances like glucose, amino acid,Na^+, nitrogenous waste etc are reabsorbed by active transport, while reabsorption of water occur by passive transport (b) 50 -60% of electrolytes and water are absorbed by brush bordered cuboidal epithelium of PCT(c) conditional reabsorption of Na^+ and selective secretion of H^+ and K^+ occurs in DCT(d) filtrate gets concentrated as it moves upward in ascending limb of loop of henle. find the correct option regarding true or false statement.

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.
