The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "Choose the wrong statement regarding urine formation," we will analyze each option provided and determine which statement is incorrect. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Question**: We need to identify the statement that is incorrect regarding the process of urine formation. 2. **Evaluate Each Statement**: - **Option A**: "Filtration is a non-selective process performed by the glomerulus." - **Analysis**: This statement is correct. The glomerulus filters blood in a non-selective manner, allowing various substances to pass through. - **Option B**: "Glomerular capillary blood pressure causes the filtration of blood through three layers." - **Analysis**: This statement is also correct. The filtration occurs due to the pressure in the glomerular capillaries, and it passes through three layers: two epithelial layers and a basement membrane. - **Option C**: "The GFR in a healthy individual is approximately 125 ml per minute." - **Analysis**: This statement is correct as well. The Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) in healthy individuals typically ranges from 90 to 125 ml/min. - **Option D**: "The ascending limb of the Henle's loop is permeable to water." - **Analysis**: This statement is incorrect. The ascending limb of the loop of Henle is not permeable to water; it is primarily permeable to salts (like NaCl) and allows for the active or passive transport of electrolytes. 3. **Identify the Wrong Statement**: After evaluating all options, we find that Option D is the wrong statement regarding urine formation. 4. **Conclusion**: The answer to the question is Option D. ### Final Answer: The wrong statement regarding urine formation is: **The ascending limb of the Henle's loop is permeable to water.** ---
