Collecting duct does not:
I: allow reabsorption of large amount of water during concentration of urine.
II. allow passage of small amounts of urea into medullary interstitium to keep up the osmolarity.
III. play a role in the maintenance of pH and ionic balance of blood by the selective secretion of H+ and K+ ions.

The figure shows a diagrammatic representation of a nephron and vasa recta showing counter current mechanisms. Identify the correct statements:
  
I: A is NaCl which is transported by the ascending limb of Henle’s loop, exchanged with the ascending limb of vasa recta and returned to the interstitium by the descending portion of vasa recta.
II: B is urea which enters the thin segment of the ascending limb of Henle’s loop and is transported back to the interstitium by the collecting tubule.
III: C is water.
