What is the mechanism for the filtration of blood within the nephron?
1. both active and passive secretion of ions, toxins, and NH3 into the tubule
2. high hydrostatic pressure of blood forcing water the small molecules out of the capillary.
3. the high osmolarity of the medulla that was created by active and passive transport of salt from the tubule and passive diffusion of urea from the collecting duct
4. a lower osmotic pressure in Bowman’s capsule compared to the osmotic pressure in the glomerulus.
 
  1. If both the assertion and the reason are true and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion
  2. If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion
  3. If the assertion is true but the reason is false
  4. If both the assertion and reason are false

Identify the incorrect statement:
1.  The descending limb of loop of Henle is permeable to water but
almost impermeable to electrolytes.
2. The ascending limb of loop of Henle is impermeable to water but
allows transport of electrolytes actively or passively.
3. DCT is capable of reabsorption of bicarbonate ions and selective
secretion of hydrogen and potassium ions and ammonia to maintain
the pH and electrolyte balance in the body.
4. PCT does not play any role in reabsorption of bicarbonate ions and
selective secretion of hydrogen and ammonia to maintain the pH
and electrolyte balance in the body.
