The JGA (Juxta Glomerular Apparatus) is a special sensitive region formed by cellular modifications in___________ related to the same nephron.
1. Distal convoluted tubule and efferent renal arteriole
2. Proximal convoluted tubule and afferent renal arteriole
3. Distal convoluted tubule and afferent renal arteriole
4. Proximal convoluted tubule and efferent renal arteriole

Please attempt this question first.

Given below are statements:
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.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:


1. Both Statement I and Statement II are False
2. Statement I is True but Statement II is False
3. Statement I is False but Statement II is True
4. Both Statement I and Statement II are True
