Read the following statements and choose the correct option Statement 1 : Atria receive blood from all parts of the body which subsequenctly flows to ventricles Statement 2 : Action potential generated at sino-atrial node passes from atria to ventricles.

Assertion A: The renal fluid becomes increasingly concentrated when it flows down in the descending limb of loop of Henle towards the inner medulla but its concentration decreases in the ascending limb when it flows towards the cortex Reason R: The descending limb of the loop of Henle reabsorbs water, the ascending limb is impermeable to water but salts are reabsorbed

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
