Q. No.Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R)
In light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
| 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) |

In order to produce concentrated urine, a large amount of water could be reabsorbed in the human kidney from:
| 1. | PCT | 2. | Henle's loop |
| 3. | DCT | 4. | Collecting duct |
Subtopic: Â Function of the tubules |
Level 3: 35%-60%

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. |
