Long loops of Henle on juxtamedullary nephrons allow for greater concentration of urine. For an individual with highly concentrated urine, filtrate entering the loop of Henle is likely to be:
1. more concentrated than filtrate exiting the loop Henle.
2. less concentrated than filtrate exiting the loop of Henle.
3. more voluminous than filtrate exiting the loop of Henle.
4. less voluminous than filtrate exiting the loop of Henle.

Consider the given two statements:
Assertion (A): Atrial Natriuretic Factor (ANF) mechanism acts as a check on the renin-angiotensin mechanism.

1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A).

Consider the given two statements:
Assertion: The ascending limb of loop of Henle is also called the diluting segment of the nephron.
 
Reason: In the ascending portion, the loop becomes impermeable to water and the cells of the loop actively reabsorb solutes from the luminal fluid.
1. Assertion is true but Reason is false
2. Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason correctly explains the Assertion
3. Assertion is false but Reason is true
