Statement-1: Small amount of urea enters...

Statement-1: Small amount of urea enters the thick segment of Henle's loop which is tranported back to interstitium by collecting tubules.
Statement-2: Collecting tubules and thick segment of Henle's loop are permeable to urea.

A

both statements 1 and 2 are correct.

B

Statement 1 is correct but statement 2 is incorrect

C

Statement 1 is incorrect but statement 2 is correct

D

Both statements 1 and 2 are incorrect.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The deeper parts of thin ascending limbs of Henle's loop and collecting ducts are permeable to urea. Urea diffuses out of the collecting ducts and enters into the thin ascending limbs of Henle's loop. Only certain amount of urea is recycled and rest remains in interstitial fluid.

Let T be the line passing through the points P(-2,\ 7) and Q(2,\ -5) . Let F_1 be the set of all pairs of circles (S_1,\ S_2) such that T is tangent to S_1 at P and tangent to S_2 at Q , and also such that S_1 and S_2 touch each other at a point, say, M . Let E_1 be the set representing the locus of M as the pair (S_1,\ S_2) varies in F_1 .
