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.

Which of the following statements are correct? (i). Reabsorption of water occurs passively in the initial segment of nephron. (ii). Nitrogenous wastes are absorbed by passive transport. (iii). Conditional reabsorption of Na^(+) and water takes palce in DCT. (iv). DCT reabsorbs HCO_(3)^(-) (v). DCT is capable of selective secretion of H^(+),K^(+) and NH_(3) to maintain pH and Na^(+)-K^(+) balance in blood. (vi). Substance like glucose, amino acids, Na^(+) , etc,. it the filtrate are reabsorbed actively.

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.

How many of the following functions can be correctly correlated with loop of Henle ? A. Reabsorption of nearly all of the essential nutrients. B. Reabsorption in this segment is minimum. C. A significant role in the maintenance of high osmolarity of medullary interstitial fluid. D. Reabsorption of 70-80 percent of electrolytes and water. E. Conditional reabsorption of Na^(+) .

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 for reabsorption. (a) If both Assertion & Reason are True & the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion. (b) If both Assertion & Reason are True but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion. (c) Assertion is True but the Reason is False. (d) If both Assertion & Reason are false.

The maximum amount of electrolytes and water (70-80 per cent) from the glomerular filtrate is reabsorbed in which part of the nephron?

The maximum amount of electrolytes and water (70-80 per cent) from the glomerular filtrate is reabsorbed in which part of the nephron?

Read the following diagram and choose the correct statements. I). In part 'A', the water reabsorption takes place II) In part 'B', the water and electrolytes reabsorption take place III) In part 'C', the water reabsorption takes place IV) In part 'D', the water is reabsorbed but electrolytes are not reabsorbed

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.
