The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Brush Border Epithelium:** - Brush border epithelium is characterized by microvilli on the surface of epithelial cells, which increases the surface area for absorption. 2. **Identifying the Function:** - The primary function of brush border epithelium is to enhance the absorptive capacity of the cells, making them efficient in absorbing substances. 3. **Analyzing the Options:** - **Option 1: Proximal Convoluted Tubule (PCT)** - This is a part of the nephron in the kidney where significant reabsorption of nutrients occurs. - **Option 2: Leukophilic Hemorrhage** - This is not a location for brush border epithelium. - **Option 3: Collecting Duct** - While it plays a role in water reabsorption, it does not have a brush border. - **Option 4: Vermal Capsule** - This is not a recognized term in relation to brush border epithelium. 4. **Conclusion:** - The brush border epithelium is found in the **Proximal Convoluted Tubule (PCT)**, which is essential for the reabsorption of substances like glucose, sodium ions, and water. 5. **Final Answer:** - Therefore, the correct answer is **Option 1: Proximal Convoluted Tubule**. ---

Part of nephron lined by simple cuboidal brush bordered epithelium is found in

Assertion :- Simple cuboidal brush bordered epthelium is found in PCT of nephrons Reason :- Maximum reabsorption of substances takses place in PCT of nepthrons.

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.

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.
