counter current mechanism between loop of Henle and Vasa recta result in reabsorption of water from

Assertion: In terrestrial animals,counter current mechanism helps in the concentration of the filtrate to pass out concentrated urine. Reason: Descending limb is impermeable to water while ascending limb is impermeable to Na^(+)

Counter current mechanism observed in the renal medulla helps in formation of concentrated urine dilute urine reabsorption of nutrients reabsorption of creatinine

More ADH means (a) less permeable DCT (b) concentrated urine (c) dilute urine (d) fall in blood osmotic pressure

Assertion: The Henle's loop and vasa recta play a significant role in producing a concentrated urine. Reason: The counter current arrangement of Henle's loop and vasa recta helps in this.

Assertion :- Mammals have the ability to produce a concentrated urine. Reason :- Counter current mechanism occurs in vasa recta and Henle's loop.

In which part of nepthron, reabsorption of glucose is maximum from filtrate? (a) Henle's loop (b) PCT (c) DCT (d) filtration

Assertion :- Human kidneys can produce urine nearly four times concentrated than the initial filtrate formed. Reason :- Counter current mechanism helps to maintain a concentration gradient in the medullary interstitium.

Read the following statements about the excretory system in humans: I. A fall in GFR can activate the JG cells to release renin. II. ADH can also affect the kidney function by its constrictory effects on blood vessels. III. The proximity between the Henle's loop and vasa recta, as well as the counter-current in them help in maintaining an increasing osmolarity towards the outer medullary interstitium. IV Our lungs remove large amounts of CO_(2) (108 litres/day). V. Renal calculi are the stone or insoluble mass of crystallised salts like oxalates within the kidney. How many of these are correct?

Go through the following statements. (i) Liver is the site of urine formation. (ii) Urethra is not the part of kidney. (iii) Vasa recta is well developed in cortical nephrons. (v) The highest concentration of urea is found in Hepatic vein. (vi) Least concentration of urea is present in renal vein. How many statements are correct? (a) 0 (b) 2 (c) 3 (d) 5
