Statement I: | In the nephron, the descending limb of loop of Henle is impermeable to water and permeable to electrolytes. |
Statement II: | The proximal convoluted tubule is lined by simple columnar brush border epithelium and increases the surface area for reabsorption. |
1. | Renal corpuscle of juxta medullary nephron lies in the outer portion of the renal medulla. |
2. | Loop of Henle of juxta medullary nephron runs deep into medulla. |
3. | Juxta medullary nephrons outnumber the cortical nephrons. |
4. | Juxta medullary nephrons are located in the columns of Bertini. |
Assertion (A): | Juxta Glomerular Apparatus (JGA) plays an important role in regulation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR). |
Reason (R): | A fall in GFR can activate the J.G. cells to release renin which can stimulate the glomerular blood flow and thereby bringing the GFR to normal level. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
4. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
Statement I: | Concentrated urine is formed due to counter current mechanism in nephron. |
Statement II: | Counter current mechanism helps to maintain osmotic gradient in the medullary interstitium. |
Assertion (A): | Nephrons are of two types: Cortical & Juxta medullary, based on their relative position in cortex and medulla. |
Reason (R): | Juxta medullary nephrons have short-loop of Henle whereas, cortical nephrons have longer loop of Henle. |
1. | (A) is False, (R) is True. |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A). |
3. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain(A). |
4. | (A) is True, (R) is False. |
A: | An excessive loss of body fluid from the body switches off osmoreceptors. |
B: | ADH facilitates water reabsorption to prevent diuresis. |
C: | ANF causes vasodilation. |
D: | ADH causes increase in blood pressure. |
E: | ADH is responsible for decrease in GFR. |
1. | C, D and E only | 2. | A and B only |
3. | B, C and D only | 4. | A, B and E only |
Assertion (A): | Ascending limb of the loop of Henle is impermeable to water and allows transport of electrolytes actively or passively. |
Reason (R): | Dilution of filtrate takes place due to efflux of electrolytes in the medullary fluid |
1. | (A) is True, (R) is False |
2. | (A) is False, (R) is True |
3. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A) |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A) |
(A) | Activation of JG cells and release of renin |
(B) | Angiotensin II activated release of aldosterone |
(C) | Fall in glomerular blood pressure |
(D) | Reabsorption of Na+ and water from distal convoluted tubule |
(E) | Angiotensinogen is converted to Angiotensin I and then to Angiotensin II |
