The concentration of filtrate will _____ as it moves down in the descending limb of loop of Henle

Assertion : While on going down the loop of Henle, the filtrate becomes hypotonic. Reason : The descending limb of loop of Henle is impermeable to both water and electrolytes.

Assertion :- The descending limb of loop of Henle is permeable to water but almost impermeable to electrolytes. Reason :- Henle's loop plays a significant role in the maintenance of high osmolarity of medullary interstitial fluid.

In the descending limb of loop of Henle, the filtrate becomes progressively (a) isotonic (b) hypotonic (c) hypertonic (d) watery

Assertion: In the descending limb of loop of Henle the urine is hypotonic, while in ascending limb of loop of Henle, the urine is hypertonic. Reason: Descending limb is impermeable to water while ascending limb is impermeable to Na^(+)

Assertion : In the descending limb of loop of Henle , the urine is hypertonic , while in ascending limb of loop of Henle , the urine is Hypotonic . Reason : Descending limb is impermeable to Na' while ascending limb is impermeable to H_(2)O

Which of the following statements are correct? (i). Renal vein takes blood away from kidney. (ii). Urine gets diluted in ascending limb of loop of Henle. (iii). Podocyte occur in inner wall of Bowman's capsule. (iv). Ultrafiltrate/nephric filtrate is plasma minus proteins.

Read the following statements (a)in tubular reabsorption, substances like glucose, amino acid,Na^+, nitrogenous waste etc are reabsorbed by active transport, while reabsorption of water occur by passive transport (b) 50 -60% of electrolytes and water are absorbed by brush bordered cuboidal epithelium of PCT(c) conditional reabsorption of Na^+ and selective secretion of H^+ and K^+ occurs in DCT(d) filtrate gets concentrated as it moves upward in ascending limb of loop of henle. find the correct option regarding true or false statement.
