The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to evaluate each statement regarding the excretory system and determine which ones are correct. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Evaluate Statement (i)**: - The statement claims that the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in a healthy individual is about 180 ml/day. - **Correction**: The GFR is approximately 125 ml/minute, which translates to about 180 liters/day (not ml). However, this value is misleading as it refers to the total filtrate produced, not the urine excreted. - **Conclusion**: This statement is incorrect. 2. **Evaluate Statement (ii)**: - The statement claims that all constituents of plasma pass into the lumen of Bowman's capsule. - **Correction**: Not all constituents pass through; larger molecules like proteins do not filter through the glomerulus. Glucose is also reabsorbed actively after filtration. - **Conclusion**: This statement is incorrect. 3. **Evaluate Statement (iii)**: - The statement claims that 70-80% of electrolytes and water are absorbed in the proximal convoluted tubule (PCT). - **Correction**: This is a true statement. The PCT is responsible for the reabsorption of a significant portion of water and electrolytes. - **Conclusion**: This statement is correct. 4. **Evaluate Statement (iv)**: - The statement claims that angiotensin II increases glomerular blood pressure and GFR. - **Correction**: Angiotensin II is a potent vasoconstrictor that helps to increase blood pressure, which can indirectly help maintain GFR. - **Conclusion**: This statement is correct. 5. **Evaluate Statement (v)**: - The statement claims that the counter-current system contributes to concentrating the filtrate. - **Correction**: The counter-current mechanism in the loop of Henle does indeed help in concentrating urine by creating a gradient that facilitates water reabsorption. - **Conclusion**: This statement is correct. ### Final Evaluation: - Statements (iii), (iv), and (v) are correct. - Therefore, the correct option is the one that includes statements 3, 4, and 5. ### Answer: The correct option is **4** (statements 3, 4, and 5 are correct).

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.

Read the following statement and choose the correct option I. Asceding limb of Henle's loop is permeable to water II. Tubular cells secrete substance like H^(+), K^(+) and ammonia into filtrate III. There is maximum reabsorption in Henle's loop IV. Conditional reabsorption of Na^(+) occurs in DCT V. PCT helps in maintaining ionic balance of body fluids

Consider the following four statements (i-iv) and select the option that correctly identifies the true (T) and false (F) ones. (i). Atrial natriuretic factor can cause vasodilation (dilation of blood vessels) and thereby decreases the blood pressure. (ii). On an average, 60-70 gm of urea is excreted out per day. (iii). Sebaceous glands eliminate certain substances like NaCl, urea and lactic acid through sebum. (iv). PCT is lined by simple cuboidal brush border epithelium which increases the surface area for reabsorption.

Which of the following statement is // are true ? I. Glomerular filtrate is isotonic to plasma. II. When the urine passes into collecting tubule , it becomes hypotonic. III. Filtrate is isotonic in proximal convoluted tubule. IV. Filtrate becomes more and more hypotonic as it passes through descending limb of Henle's loop. Choose the correct option :-

Which of the following statements about the glomerular filtration is CORRECT ? I. The hydrostatic pressure of blood in glomerular capillaries allows filtration. II. The diameter of the efferent arteriole is lesser than the diameter of the afferent arteriole. III. The fluid collected in the urinary space contains all constitution of blood except RBCs. IV. The net filtration pressure at the glomerulus is around 40 mm Hg.

Read the following four statements carefully: I. About 70 ml of blood is pumped out by each Ventricle during a cardiac cycle is called the beat volume. II. The fluid called lymph is almost similar to blood plasma without any exception III. Heart failure simply means when the heart stops beating . IV. Hypotension leads to heart diseases as well as damage to the brain , kidney and other vital organs. How many from the above is/are correct ?

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?

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.
