In majority of the nephrons, the loop of Henle:
1. is absent
2. extends only a little into the medulla
3. extends deep into the medulla

Juxtamedullary nephrons:
1. are more common than cortical nephrons
2. do not have a well developed vasa recta associated with them
3. play a very important role in concentration of urine
4. produce angiotensinogen

The reabsorption, from the filtrate, of sodium, glucose and amino acids:
1. involves the Bowman's capsule
2. is restricted to the loop of Henle

Identify the incorrect statement regarding proximal convoluted tubule:
1. It is lined by simple cuboidal brush bordered epithelium
2. It reabsorbs 70-80 % of electrolytes and water and nearly all nutrients
3. In juxta-medullary nephrons, it extends deep into the renal medulla
4. It secretes hydrogen ions, ammonia and reabsorbs bicarbonate ions to maintain the ionic and pH balance of the body fluids
